I think there's an Old Testament verse saying that men in the first year of marriage shouldn't be sent off to war - implying that that's a special year. Maybe Jacob knows where that verse is :)<br /><br />It's up to you but it seems to me that following Jesus is about being a good wife as much as about hospitality - and you're the only wife Jacob has whereas you're not the only person with a spare room. So you have unique responsibilities in your marriage relationship that no-one else can fulfil and it's important not to add on so much other stuff that they get compromised.<br /><br />My guess is that Jacob will want to please you and will be supportive if you want to bring someone else in now - but perhaps he would breathe a sigh of relief if you chose to wait a little so you could get to know each other better without the stress of bringing a stranger into your home.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03605999794188527973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942601.post-39089082881991831322010-01-11T18:29:45.432-06:002010-01-11T18:29:45.432-06:00Thanks for writing.

That's just my opinion, though. <br /><br />How can we create the most love in the universe? How can we guard and nourish and important wellspring of love so that we may later extend it elsewhere?<br /><br />Love youRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449441195053616361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942601.post-17530712106193536532010-01-11T17:13:01.822-06:002010-01-11T17:13:01.822-06:00whatsa bio mom?
Remember that friend we used to ha...whatsa bio mom?<br />Remember that friend we used to have who thought that you couldn't call or visit with people during their first year of marriage? Who thought they had to give up-temporarily-every ministry they served so they could focus on the ministry that is their marriage? Maybe that's appropriate. I want to honor the part of your viscera that's telling you to go slowly and treat this gently. In many things you are amazing, careful and brilliant, and if you soldiered forth with your fledgling commitment, you'd swim for sure. But it might be okay to tend to this for a while, and to recognize that doing so, as self-indulgent as it sometimes feels, is maybe a way God's asking you to serve.<br />I miss you. :)Jessica Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031934571261945172noreply@blogger.com
