love requires a choice
"If you love me, keep my commandments." The first commandments were 4 easy ones 1) rest one day a week 2) take care of the earth 3) make love to your wife (Sounds like the ideal job description, what a good God that asks us to do this to prove our love to him.) and 4) Don't eat from that one tree out of the millions on the planet.
Love requires a choice, the choice to walk away. As painful as it is to not be able to control if people love us or not, the beauty in love is that it is a choice.
God could have destroyed Adam and Eve and started over with Steve and Sue, but that would destroy their ability to choose, and that would destroy love, which is a core characteristic of God.
