Of course they did...
They... were.... quite literally made for one another.
Hehehehehe. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
But probably not, since lets face it if God made them already loving one another then that would break the much touted "but freeeeee willlll" rule. And they didn't really have much in the way of choice, what, being forced to live alone with each other by God. Wouldn't make a loving romance for me. I'd probably be heard saying:
"Awww, gee, thankyou God, but really... I'd prefer to find someone myself. Not that making someone out of my rib isn't grand, it just seems a bit to much like an arranged thing, if you know what I mean?"
But that's Milton. Not an authority.
Maybe Milton was inspired by God. If it works for the Bible I want it to work for Paradise Lost.

Haha...yeah, at least it's consistent with itself.

Anyway, Adam and Eve were metaphors. Applying feelings to them millenia after the story was first written is a fruitless endeavor.
