“And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.”
Then Jacob said to Laban: give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to marry her. The request is direct and legitimate — the seven years are complete, the agreement has been kept, the bride is owed. Jacob speaks with the confidence of a man who has fulfilled his obligation. The application: the confidence that comes from having kept your commitment is the confidence that allows you to make your request without apology.
