JACOB,LABAN AND RACHEL THEORY; HOW LONG CAN YOU WAIT?

I was just enjoying the book of genesis a couple of weeks back, and then this interesting story of Jacob, Laban and Rachel struck my mental faculty.

Jacob practically waited for fourteen years for the woman of his dreams, if I were to be Jacob that would be; 1* + 14=3* chai!!!!!!. I asked myself matter-of-factly, "can I possibly do that?" and my answer was "*************". He probably was in the friendzone for that long lol....

But Ýou, yes you reading this post, can you wait for a lady for at least 4 years???
