Nothing is more powerful than that image of Adam giving up all for Eve. He chose to leave paradise and work for a living rather than lose the woman he loved.

No, he was too lazy to ask where the strange fruit came from and God directed the Guilty Pair to Leave. There is no indication Adam did it out of love.

God did not give Adam a choice about leaving, he was evicted forcefully.

But the amazing thing is that God did not kill the two on the spot but took an animal and sacrificed it; giving them better clothing than their skimpy covering of fig leaves. That sacrifice is echoed in God calling Abraham to sacrifice Isaac (his only son with Sarah) and providing a ram at the last moment.

And ultimately fulfilled in the sacrifice of God's own Son on the Cross for those who would believe Christ died for their sins.

I wish these writers had some idea of what they were writing about; it might be more enlightening.

There is every indication Adam did it out of love for Eve. Eve was deceived. Adam was not. His only motivation for eating of the fruit at that point was to suffer the same fate as Eve. He could not imagine life without her and death would be preferable to separation. He got both. There is no indication Adam was lazy.
