Pop Quiz: What product once used the jingle, ‘Double your pleasure, double your fun’? If you guessed Doublemint Gum then you get a point. Our Bible MAMAS, Leah and Rachel, could have starred in that commercial for their role in today’s story. This episode sets the stage for our sister wives who are constantly competing for their husband’s love and affection. Jacob’s jingle sang more like, ‘Double your pleasure, double your trouble.’ The story of these two sisters reminds us that comparison is the thief of joy, and producing sons does not equal love in marriage. PSA Warning: You just might laugh so hard you pee on yourself a little.
