I once wrote about it. Yaakov Avinu was thinking about divorcing Leah, ?? ????? ???, so Hashem hurriedly sent children her way. Medrash continues, Yakkov exclaimed, “How can I divorce the mother of these?!”.
There is a lesson to be learned. Today’s selfish society wants every thing for self gratification, glorification, no time or room for another. Marriage is for external desires, passions, and the minute external “circumstances” wane or wears off, people, like disposables, are dumped.
A far cry from the selfless life style of the previous. Children were not “in the way”, to the contrary – they were the glue that actually solidified their marriage.
