Updating and Validating email field

Im creating a update page, where the user can change his email, but it needs a password confirmation for that. But before this, it needs some kind of validation, first to check if the current email is correct and also if the new email is available to be saved, and after the password is correct than be updated.

But im having some trouble in making the request, validation, can someone tell me if this is correct? (dont mind the dd i putted, is just for testing).

$user = Auth::user();
        $this->validate($request, array(
            'current_email'     => 'required|email|unique:users,email,'. $user->id,
            'email'             => 'required|email|unique:users',
            'verify_password'   => 'required|min:6'
        ));


        //Verify information user before updating
        if($user->email != $request->current_email){
            dd("Current Email is not the same");
        }

        if($user->password != bcrypt($request->verify_password)){
            dd("Password incorrect, will not update");
        }


        dd("update, is ok now");
