Working For Love

In Genesis 20, it talks about Jacob working 7 years for Rachel's hand in marriage. To Jacob, that time didn't seem long because he loved Rachel just that much. Here's the catch: Laban deceived Jacob because on their wedding night, he used a veil to substitute Leah for Rachel. Laban tried to play it off by saying the older sister should marry first. Jacob had to work another 7 years for Rachel's hand in marriage. Fast forward to 2016: Nobody has time to work 7 years for any (wo)man. If a (wo)man asked someone to work 7 years before (s)he chose them, that person would look at them crazy and move on (hopefully they will). If I'm Jacob, I'd be out the first time I felt played. I'm going hard for Rachel, only to find out I was duped and have to work another 7 years before I marry her. The way my patience is set up, that's not possible with me. Some men would be willing to go that far, but not me. There's too many women out there for me to waste time on one who's about playing games. Laban played games with Jacob, no way around it.
