And Isaac went out to meditate in the field
toward evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, there were
camels coming. 64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she
dismounted from the camel 65 and said to the servant, “Who is that man, walking
in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took her
veil and covered herself. 66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he
had done. 67 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.
Isaac went out for a walk in the field and
ended up attending his own impromptu wedding. A bride and groom are not typically
introduced at the altar, but here we see, "Nice to meet you,"
followed by, "I do." And Isaac loved her. This may seem extreme, and
perhaps it is, but that only implies then that our marriages, followed by
months of engagement - preceded by months (if not years) of dating, should be
all the more set up for long term success, right?
Right?
