It’s relevant to those whose parents choose their spouse today.
and
you are supposed to look at the way the avos did things….I think the parents should do the main leg-work but leave the actual decision to the child
Interesting….
Avraham didn’t do the leg work, he sent a trusted servant to do so.
Yitzchok and Rivka didn’t date at all.
Avraham waited until Yitzchak was in his late thirties before finding a shidduch.
According to one midrash, he married his adult son off to a three year old.
Given all these facts to be true, why is the fact that Avraham chose the wife considered to be so important that we must emulate it today, whereas all these other facts can simply be discarded as “that’s not the way things are done today?”
