Jacob was in love with Rachel and said: I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel. The proposal is extravagant — seven years of labor for a bride price — and romantic — he offers the labor without being asked. The love that drove Jacob to roll away the well stone drives him to commit seven years of his life. The application: the love that moves before it calculates the cost is the love that will sustain seven years. Jacob knows the price and offers it because Rachel is worth it.
