A Model for Godly Marriage
Commentators note that Isaac's marriage to Rebekah is a model of a godly union. He first honored her by bringing her into the tent of his own revered mother, Sarah. The text then explicitly states that 'he loved her,' emphasizing genuine affection, not mere obligation. This sequence distinguishes the covenant of marriage from a casual or uncommitted union, rooting it in honor and love.
