Reply To: Did Rachel come to Jacob only seven days after Jacob married Leah?

It fits! Yay 😊 Thanks grammar ninjas 👍

So now we know that seven days after Jacob married Leah, he married Rachel. Jacob then worked for Laban for seven more years to earn Rachel.

I heard that in general marrying Rachel and getting Leah is a metaphor about how we really never marry the person we think we are marrying because people are different once married and living together (maybe it is the spiritual fusion?)

What does this story mean spiritually? That in order to get back the connection that happened when things were new, we have to work for it? Labor to stay connected with our true love and soulmate?

And Leah is always there because she is the vulnerable fertile self whose presence is just as necessary even if it does not always feel that way?

What did you learn about the lessons here?

Thank you ☺
