I feel for Leah...the one in the Bible...the first wife of Jacob.  See, she knew that Jacob didn't want her.  She wasn't the most attractive of the daughters in that family.  At that time it seems this was a big deal.  Maybe it is now, too.

But Rachel was barren--infertile is what we say now.  Her one short-coming.  She couldn't provide the most important service a woman could at that time.

So Leah saw her opening.  She started making babies.  And with each one, she thought, "Surely, he'll love me this time."  But Jacob never did. He always put Leah right behind Rachel.

Most men today don't have two wives.  But some women find themselves in the same struggle.  Maybe if I do this, make this change, act this way, he will love me like I want to be loved.

Yeah.  I feel awful for Leah.  She was a little petty, for sure.  But who wouldn't be?
