Jacob is completely overwhelmed with Rachel. If seven years seems like few days, then clearly he was a happy man.
Time that is filled with love is the most wonderful time of all, for love is the most wonderful experience that God has given to human beings. Laban worked Jacob hard (Genesis 31:38-41), but love had made that easy to bear. What an amazing gift of God it is! But of course it can only fully be enjoyed with a good conscience, within the rules that God has ordained for human relationships. Love is a blessing which modern society has deprived itself of, because, by disregarding God’s commandments for purity before marriage, and by substituting cohabitation and promiscuity in the place of marriage, love has been cast out. Instead there is only lust which the world mistakes for love, but it is focused on the body in the main, and true friendship and sharing at the level of the soul is eliminated. Sin always harms us.
