If Adam and Eve had Modern Christian Relationship Problems

One day Adam was walking through the glorious paradise known as Eden, when suddenly he spotted Eve looking sad.  He went over to investigate.



Adam: Eve, you look sad, what is wrong?
Eve: Sit down Adam, I think I have a revelation.
Adam:  Sure, Eve, what can I help you with, love of my life.
Eve: That's just it.  We need to talk about our relationship.
Adam:  Ooookay.
Eve:  I don't think God wants us to be together.
Adam: What?  How can you say that?
Eve:  I think God is telling me that we shouldn't go out.
Adam:  Why don't we ask him?  He is literally ten feet away.
Eve:  He didn't literally tell me, but I think he is giving me a feeling.  It's a feeling that he doesn't want us together.
Adam:  No, seriously Eve, we should just go ask him.
Eve:  That might just confuse me more.  I just don't think I am ready for a relationship.
Adam:  I really like you Eve.  You know I would never hurt you.
Eve:  Really, even after I caught you staring at that fruit tree?
Adam:  All men have problems with that Eve!  I told you that in confidence!
Eve:  And that is why we might not be good for each other.  We are spiritually immature to be in a relationship.
Adam:  Good for each other?  God made you from my rib. You came to this Earth because I was lonely.
Eve:  There you go again making the conversation all about you!  Remember what God said at our small group...don't be selfish.
Adam:  Hey, I'm just quoting God here.  What is better than hooking up with the only dude on this Earth?
Eve:   But what if I want to get a job and be a career woman?
Adam:  What are you going to work on?  Everything is practically given to us.
Eve:  You are very sweet, Adam, but I really think I need to follow my heart.
Adam:  But we were meant for each other...
Eve:  You will always be a brother in Christ to me...
Adam:  I don't know who that is.  Look, God spoke to me and he said we were meant to be together.
Eve:  How do you know?
Adam:  Well, you came naked, which I take as a sign.  If God did not want me to notice you you would have come with clothing.
Eve:  Maybe I am looking for someone more mature in God.  Two becoming one sounds like a huge commitment.  We will need to leave the garden and start a new house.
Adam:  Woah...now you are going a little fast.  Maybe we should take a break.
Eve:  We will both pray about it.
Adam:  So you are just going to give up on the whole finding a partner?
Eve:  You're a great guy, Adam.  I have no doubt you will find someone.
