• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Hello everyone, I'm needing some encouragement and advice on what I can do to help my marriage. My wife and I have been married for 10 years, we have 4 children, 1 in heaven and 1 on the way. I am struggling with severe complex health problems and I haven't been able to lead my family, my wife will not let me have a say in anything. Then when stuff is out of control she blames me. We can't even have a discussion as it always turns into a argument and her leaving because she seems to think I think everything is her fault. I never have said this or thought this. It's made it to where I just don't bring anything up anymore because it's not constructive and I still can't express my feelings or ideas to implement change. I'm not sure how to address this, I pray and pray for help from God. Thanks so much.

Hope you are able to help with the kids and household chores.

Based on personal experience, would encourage you guys to sincerely pray together and thank Him for who He is. Tell The Lord that you put Him first in your lives. Asks Him for His love and His peace to fill you both. Would asks Him for wisdom, healing, and guidance.
