The difference in desire between both Adam and Eve’s is that Adam desired to do something to his wife (rule over her, an action) whereas Eve desired her husband himself vs doing something to him (an action). Adam desired to do something to another, Eve desired another. I think the differences are important. Details, deatils! ;P

If Genesis had said that Adam merely desired his wife rather than rule over her then how could we conclude that his desire for her was sin? Same thing for Eve. If Genesis had said that Eve desired to _______ her husband then depending on what it was she desired to do to him we could conclude whether or not her desire was sin.
