Eve’s turning or desire is not a consequence of the fall (her having once been deceived but no longer deceived and Adam having rebelled against God). Eve’s choice to turn to or desire her husband has no consequence since Adam’s choice to rule over her is solely his own problem (with his sin nature), not hers.

How can you believe that her turning is not a consequence of the fall? Her turning toward Adam produced Cain, for one thing. And how can Adam rule over her without her consent? The text says nothing about him dragging her out of the garden against her will.

You guys are starting to make Eve sound like the comp Eve, a ditzy woman, always easily deceived, who acted like a doormat and had no choices and made loyalty to Adam more important than God.
