Genesis 24: The Search For A Bride - a podcast by The Epic Life - Bob Hallman

An average of 13,500 Americans get married every day. And roughly 50% of those marriages will end in divorce! I wouldn’t describe those as very good odds.

Can you imagine getting on a plane with those kinds of odds? Or getting in the ocean if you knew you had a 50% chance of being eaten by JAWS? But it shouldn’t come as a surprise to us considering that most marriages are the result of meeting people: In bars, in Internet chat rooms, through dating services, or by marketing yourself on eBay to the highest bidder!

Personally, I think the divorce rate could be substantially reduced if we went back to the days of arranged marriages as recorded for us in Genesis 24.

My young son Michael has decided to eliminate possibility of marital failure–he’s going to marry his mom!

Genesis 24, the longest in the book of Genesis, presents us with the delightful story of Abraham sending his servant to find a wife for his son. This is more than just a story of "boy meets girl." It is a wonderful foreshadowing of the redemptive work of God.
