Gen 29:20 Jacob worked seven years so that he could have Rachel, and the time seemed like only a few days to him, because he loved her.
Hmmm….Jacob really loved Rachel.
It seems that Abraham’s descendant is cursed with barren wives.
Gen 30:27 Laban said to him, "Let me say this: I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.
Laban is right, a person who believed and fears God is a blessing in the home.

Jacob Wrestling with the ANGEL of GOD
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
