  • 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

    how long did it take for him to propose?

    Well for us he proposed after 18 months. But I know someone who got proposed to after 3!! I also know a couple who have been together nearly 3 years and aren't engaged yet. Its different for every one. We weren't ready to be married before 18 months... his proposal was perfect timing.

    Did you do premarital counselling?

    We've just finished doing a 10 week 'wise before the event' course. Although none of the subjects were new to us (i.e. we'd talked about them before) there were still some new areas highlighted and also we found being with a more experienced older couple very validating.
