Did Adam love Eve?

Answer: Of Course!

Genesis 3:18-25
18.Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."
19.Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
20.The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.
21.So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.
22.And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
23Then the man said,

"This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man."

24.Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25.And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.


God made Eve for Adam.
The perfect gift for a man with no human companion.
You'll see by what it says in verse 18, that God had planned this little surprise for Adam perfectly.
First, He says "I will make a helper fit for him". So you see, He planned to make Eve. Secondly, in verse 19, he makes every animal and brings them to Adam. This is to show and familiarize Adam with every animal, their strengths and beauties.
In verse 20, God reveals his hidden purpose in giving Adam this task, it's to show him that Yes, these are glorious and beautiful creatures, but none of them are suitable to be a companion to him. This is for closure, so to speak, So that in Verse 22, when he God brings Eve to him, he knows that she is incomparable in beauty and in mind to any other creature God had made.
This is to avoid confusion, I believe. To refute any thought that Adam would be better off with a animal to serve him, that no one might think that she was "bad for him".

Eve was not only the first human being that Adam saw, she was also female, handmade(literally) specifically for him, and she was naked. When Adam first sees her, he sings a joyful song about her.
he says;
"This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man."

He says "this at last..." because directly before that, he had just looked at every animal that God had made, and there was no suitable wife found for him. This at last! After going through every creature God had made, Finally there was a helper for him. Finally, A WIFE!
Make no mistake. Verse 23 is not an expression of sorrow, nor of resentment, nor of coldness, this is pure and right joy. Finally, a companion. Finally, a wife.


Not only did Adam love her, but he was proud of her. Made from a part of him, how could he not be proud? Not just was she made for him, but she was beautiful. Beautiful in every way. The prototype of women. Adam could be proud of her for these reasons:

1. He had the first woman.
2. She was physically perfect, humanly speaking.
3. She was made for him.
4. She was made from him.
5. She was the most beautiful woman ever to be created past, present and future.

Adam had never seen another woman before. He had no reason to think that he could do better than Eve, no reason to think that there was another, more beautiful woman that he could choose from. She was his standard of beauty. And she was beautiful.

Then End.
