We just got married a little over two weeks ago. (we eloped.) And he just left for a business trip. I feel like such a twit, but I miss him so much I feel like my left arm is missing. Meaning, I feel like I can't get anything done, or be productive without him close by. Am I dependant? Or foolish? Do I just need to grow up?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Husband just left for the first time.

The Bible says to take a year off after marriage, for this reason. If after a year or two it's still like this, then yes, you need to grow up.

A year off? From what? You'll have to forgive me, I'm still reading and studying the Bible for the first time.Svt4Him said:

The first couple days are the worst. I know. After that, put your mind on doing something special for when he comes home. Rearrange a room or something creative, so that he comes home to a suprise. It actually makes the time go by faster.

I really appreciate all of ya'lls support. It's made his absence a little easier to deal with.

Well, one week after I got married my husband went away for two weeks as well, so I know how you feel. Since then he has been deployed twice and gone TDY(buisness out of town) more times than I can count, so if you need to talk you can PM me. As a matter of fact, my husband left on sunday for a month. So I know what you are going through.

*hug* It is tough. But you need to be able to cope when he's not around, too. Go easy on yourself, but try to get things done still. I suspect he'd enjoy getting home to someone who's been keeping the fort AND missing him... know what I mean?

I think it must come form this:
Isn't that lovely?
God wants to bless newlyweds and help them get established together, so he instructs the rest of society to give them a chance.
We don't live according to all the Old Testament laws now, since many were for a particular time and culture.
However, sometimes we can see the sense in particular instructions, and it might be wise to follow them where we can within the limits of modern life.
God bless, Susana

You traveling wives are better than I. If hubby were traveling all the time, I'd be right by his side.

Not laughing at you, just at the thought of me trying to convince the military to give me a gun to go to Iraq with Hubby. Yes, I wish I could, but you know, I can't. I just don't think it would work.

My dad is only home with my mom on the weekends. I realize now how lucky I am that it's not like that with us. But I also see that I'll be okay if it ever DOES turn out like that. Thanks everyone for your support. Because of your advice, I've rearranged a room, put together a photo screen with my husband and my old school pictures, done ALL the laundry (quite a daunting task, if you knew me well!!) and gone shopping with my mother in law! Thanks you guys!

My hubby was recalled (1990) into the military 4 months after we were married and I was told he would be overseas in Iraq for a minimum of 1 year. I was a total wreck for the first week (locked my keys in the house three times--and I never did that before or since), then I "adjusted". I got to see him at his homeland base every weekend until the deployment.
God worked a miricle for our marriage and us, becuase his first deployment orders were lost
confused: ), his whole batalion went, but not him.....no orders no travel. It took a week to recut them, and by then there was a hold on sending troops overseas. It took time, but he got home much quicker than the expected one year 
.
I pray for all those who went to Iraq in 1990. They were exposed to so many things then. And, I pray for the families that are affected by military depolyment now too.
