Chapter 1 does not treat love as self-justifying simply because it is intense. It argues that love becomes true only when the person has reached maturity and aligned with God’s will. Desire alone is not readiness.

That makes the commandment in Eden a timing command as much as a moral command. Adam and Eve were meant to love, but not yet. Their tragedy was not that love is bad, but that holy love was taken before it was ripe.

This sharpens a broader point for formation. Strong feeling can still be disordered feeling. If love creates worlds, then immature love can also damage worlds.
