  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Where do couples find Christian friends?

    Most of my friends are 60+. Really, most of the church is 80+ in age.

    Where do couples find Christian friends?

    Where do married couples (we are in our 30s) find Christian friends? I belong to a rural United Church of Christ congregation, and us and our kids are usually the youngest people in attendance. My wife's background with her parents is in a United Pentecostal Church in a neighboring town that...

    Getting Wife to Break Away

    It's so difficult. Our summer vacation is already planned with her parents, brother, sister-in-law, and their kids. It's not exactly how I'd like to spend a week of vacation. My wife does talk about divorce quite a bit and of not needing me. I'm feeling a bit left out of my own marriage.

    Getting Wife to Break Away

    I just can't do the things for her that her parents do. I can't even spend that much time with her. I'm required to work 50 hours a week and then spend nearly three hours a day on the road. She talked about moving back to the town where I work and her brother and sister-in-law wanted to move...

    Getting Wife to Break Away

    We've had those conversations, but it doesn't go anywhere but anger. I love my wife and many things about her. Her family isn't all bad either. I just wish we could have our own space.

    Getting Wife to Break Away

    No, everyone is pretty adamant that our daughter goes to their church. When we lived away we all went together. Our daughter has been with me alone a couple of times when my wife wasn't feeling up to going to her church, but we upset people by doing it. I think my wife makes around 29.5k. I...

    Yes, when she'd leave to go home she'd take our daughter.

    Getting Wife to Break Away

    Yes, her parents always want us to get counseling and go to church, but they want the church to be their church. I'm not worried about going to counseling there, because my wife doesn't want anyone their to know of our issues. Also, her dad is a pastor there, but not "the" pastor. I believe he's...

    Getting Wife to Break Away

    Oh yes. This is what most of our arguments have been about. She says that I'm not there for her and that her family has done more for her than I have. Whenever she would leave to go home for the week her day would cry. She worries they're going to die soon. They're in their 40s. I don't...

    Getting Wife to Break Away

    Hi, My wife and I have been married for 2 1/2 years since June 2013. We have a 21 month old daughter. In our first month of marriage we moved into a house where we both had jobs, which was 1 hr and 20 min from her parents. She became pregnant with about 2 months of us being married (August...
