gengwall,

Cheryl – if the “desire” or “turning” has no spiritual component, is it is all related to the physical, are you not then supporting the idea that it is sexual desire? What other physical desire did she have for husband other than a sexual desire?

I have a real longing to be with my husband. The sexual part is not the focus for when and if that leaves when we are really old, I will still desire him. This doesn’t seem to leave the woman even when she has a 90 year old guy.

As far as a spiritual connection – it just isn’t in the text. Eve isn’t turning to Adam as her Messiah or her Lord. I believe that attaching a charge of sin to a text that has no charge of sin is a big mistake.
