When God created man he would then create his counterpart, the woman. When she denied God and bit from the apple Adam chose to "turn his back on God" to leave the Garden with Eve. Adam then commited to Eve, but when Eve bit from the apple she wasn't able to forsee the tough times that lie ahead of them to find thier true love. Once Adam and Eve loved one another as God loved them, only then could they return to touch the Face of God.
