  • 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.

Whatever we feed will grow. If you fill your ears with love songs and things that make you think about relationships you’re going to crave them more. The bible warns us not to awaken love before its time. You’re stirring a heart that has no outlet for expression which will cause you to respond to the smallest inkling of expression because you’re needy. The best thing you can do is redirect your thoughts. You need something to focus on besides love. If you want to be a wife focus on the that instead. The practical things that come with marriage. Like cooking, cleaning, and managing a home. If you have room for a garden start one or a hobby you enjoy.

Don’t live in your head or spend your days with imaginings. It won’t bring him any faster You have to settle yourself internally to provide the peace he seeks. That isn’t possible if you’re all over the place. This is the number one thing men are asking for today. Not romance, sex, or the other things women assume. Life is stressful for them right now and they’re looking for solace. Not drama, arguments, or mouthiness. But someone who respects him, that he gets along with, who adds to his peace of mind. The rest is moot if that’s lacking.

Angry and hurt. I never want to be with him again.
I am sorry you are so hurt. You're going thru the fires. You are a very tough person.
I'd like to see you find the right person & say 'CF! I met someone!'

I wish someone had told me that when I was much much younger. But it's everywhere!

They probably didn’t say it because men and women during their age didn’t have our enticements. Most of their fun was found in the company of friends or one another. There wasn’t a lot to do at home. Don’t get me wrong. Love songs aren’t bad and it’s fine to enjoy a favorite every now and then. But if you’re not in a committed relationship or courtship you don’t need to hear that every day. You’ll find yourself depressed, upset or sinning.


I might know a thing a two about men. ;-)

My heart fails, but I want to be righteous and good hearted.

I’m not who I used to be, but I still am not good enough.

I still struggle. I still have some shallowness in my heart. But God taught me that True Love is more important than physical attraction. What someone looks like does not matter!! Only who they are on the inside matters!!

I am not being hard on myself.

I want to be good hearted and love everyone God made.

I won’t settle with being less!!

If we don’t all love each other, then what is the point in being here?

We need to love each other!! There is nothing without Love.

Well said.
We should try to love each other daily. But that's not easy, and we have to learn.
I used to think it's easy peasy, but now I realise it requires efforts.
Loving others but others ignore you and don't show gratitude causes pain (in CF). I have to learn to handle that too.
