Eros Love
"Jacob worked seven years for Rachel, and they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." - Genesis 29:20
Romantic love is one of the most celebrated types of love in the world. It is the kind of love that fills movies, love songs, and stories. It is the feeling of being drawn to someone, of deep affection, and of wanting to be with them forever. In the Bible, this kind of love is called eros, the love between a husband and wife, a love that is both passionate and committed.
One of the greatest examples of eros love in Scripture is found in the story of Jacob and Rachel. Jacob was so in love with Rachel that he worked seven years just to marry her. But Genesis 29:20 says that those years seemed like only a few days to him because of how much he loved her. That is the kind of love that endures, that pursues, and that stays committed no matter the cost.
The world often distorts eros love, making it only about feelings, attraction, or temporary passion. But real eros love is much deeper than that. It is not just about romance. It is about devotion. It is the love that keeps a marriage strong, that holds on through challenges, and that reflects the commitment God designed between a husband and wife.
If you are married, eros love should be pursued and protected. It should not fade over time but should grow stronger as you choose to love your spouse daily. If you are waiting for this kind of love, let Jacob’s story remind you that real love is worth waiting for, worth pursuing, and worth committing to fully.
God created eros love to be a beautiful gift, but like all love, it should reflect His design. Love that lasts is not just about passion. It is about faithfulness, sacrifice, and a deep commitment that mirrors the way God loves us.
