  • 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.

My fiance and I are looking to be married next year. He was divorced 8 years and me 4 years. We have been together for 2 years and counting. We are careful with this second chance and have been praying and doing devotions on our own to prepare for this. We recognize and know we want to go for a premarital counseling before our wedding. Does anyone has any to recommend/suggest? We are both in our 50s

Do both of you obey the LORD?

If the answer is yes then why would you need counseling? Nobody can counsel better than God as he is the one who joins individuals together. Pray to the Lord and ask for a sign to ensure the one you are marrying is for you.

Psalm 119: 105, 24
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors
.

Genesis 24: 2 - 5, 12 - 14
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

3 And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?


Read this entire chapter on your own but the Servant agree to do what Abraham asked but of course he did not know what to look for so he asked of God a sign.

12 And he said O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.


Hope this helps and all the best to you.

I think counselling is a great idea. I also was divorced and remarried. I think it important to not make the same mistakes again in your second marriage. Counselling can facilitate this. God bless you and I wish you every happiness.
