If you read Proverbs 19:14 it says that prudent wife came from the Lord.

But the question is how does God do it?

It is like when you believe that God will provide your needs is it does not mean that when you pray and sleep then suddenly a bundle of cash. food and drinks will appear in front of you.

I believe God will help you to find a work or anything opportunities to make your life easier.

Opposite I have ever done. That may sound funny but you don't know how serious I am....

I have always gotten in relationships because of the flesh, never equally yoked. Then try to pray and missionary then into my equal. Some last miserably for years.... Some non saved but even some saved. What I do know G-d will bring equally, saved (first) but then everything else. Equally in living day by day: children, tithing, going to church.... 2 Corin. spells it out; that is all relationships: friendship, business, and romantic.

Psalm 32:8 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you”

Proverbs 3:5-7, “Trust in יהוה with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; Know Him in all your ways, And He makes all your paths straight Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear יהוה and turn away from evil.”

I believe He can provide anything but as you said it wont fall out of the sky, I think He will set a path before us, guidance, chastening, etc. and if we listen to Him we will have what He desires for us. In this life and the next.

By creating in him an endocrine system to push him and also a brain that will learn to be attracted to certain traits in the opposite sex. Anything else is just stories.

was it God's intention that Leah be one of Jacobs wives? he didn't seek her out or choose her, nor love her.

I agree - - but he didn't find this wife by attraction. he was tricked into marrying her, while Rachel was who he desired and loved.

Tricks or not, he had to play by the rules and being a humble man, he obeyed his father in-law. Someone else was forced to marry a prostitute and he did.

All i'm saying is that people today trying to pray for the Mr. right or Ms. right are wasting their time. Mr. right and Ms. right are always within the vicinity, in your work place/school/church/neighborhood and you have to use you God given physical abilities to make it happen. There's not going to be a vision/a dream/a sign as if from God that a prayer is answered of a spouse to be.

According to your experience or your friends' experience, When God will give a man a prudent wife, most of the time they first known as friends and then developed into love?

When does God give a man a prudent wife? when the man finally decides to make a move towards a familiar lady and ask her hand in marriage. Do not wait to be shown in a dream.

which one was Jacob's Ms. Right? Leah or Rachel?
is it possible to be both? & their maidservants?

((not to badger you -- it's just an interesting question. and i don't know how much Jacob ought to be a 'pattern' or not either))

Jacob loved Leah and i'd say Leah was his Ms. Right but laws are laws- he had to take the older one first as per his father in law's command. I don't see any problem with that, all i'm encouraging Jameen is not to be too sophisticated in looking for a wife in prayers, a wife is someone that you are attracted to physically and familiar with.

People don't pray for wives and are shown strangers in dreams to wait for them in certain streets at certain days or time. Within your neighborhood/school/work place- you'll be attracted to someone and if they also show signs that they feel the same towards you, you need to start working.
I can guarantee you, if someone's traits are off, even the physical attraction won't hold. Jacob married the ladies that he was familiar with and had developed physical attraction towards, only that he loved one more than the other meaning that he was attracted to one more than the other, but still had to follow the set rules.
