If she had stayed close to God how could Adam have ruled over her unless God commanded it? Did she have a choice to leave or not? I gather from your teaching she had a choice. Did she make a wise choice?

I just cannot seperate the physical from the spiritual.

If the desire was good then why bring it up after the fall? It would have been part of the good of creation and natural. God would have simply said: “He will now try to rule over you”. But Eve had to do something for that to happen the way it did. She had to turn toward/desire Adam more than her relationship with God.
