That's only if one looks at Yitzchak and Rivka, as you did in that
post. But if one looks at Yaakov and Rachel, it seems that "Love and
Marriage" is also valid.
Someone one pointed out to me that from Yitzchak and Rivka, we see one
extreme of the shidduch process. And from Yaakov and Rachel we see the
other extreme of the dating process. And we know absolutely nothing
about how Avraham and Sarah met and courted. The conclusion that might
be drawn is that the Torah is emphatically NOT teaching a "one size
fits all" approach to these matters.>>
How would interpret Moshe and Tzippora?
