As much as I'd like to blame the entertainment industry for sabotaging people's perception of love & relationships, this isn't exactly helping either:
"Jacob loved Rachel. And he said 'I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel'. Laban said, 'It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me.' So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her." Genesis 29:18-20
Then, after he was deceived into being given Leah as his wife instead of Rachel (a scandal among many in the Old Testament) he served her father for another seven years to be able to marry her.
So go ahead, ladies, finish your Nicholas Sparks book.
