So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Jacob fled to the land of Aram; there Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he guarded sheep.
Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the Lord. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.
Then Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, that I may go, for you know the service that I have given you.”
