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.

The 5 love languages, by Gary Chapman. The author made a point to insist that the “in love experience” only lasts from between 1 to 3 years.
I’m sure there’s wiggle room to those numbers but still, it made a lot of sense to me in light of some of the relationship breakdowns I’ve seen with friends.
There’s a period of intense love that can blind people to their partners faults, then, when the hazy cloud of the “in love experience” is gone, all of their partners annoying little habits and faults come to the surface.
Love was a feeling but never an act, so everything after the feeling wasn’t worth it to them.
The author helped me understand that falling in love is easy, but living in love is hard. Living in love is for grown up men and women following Jesus.

By the way, I really enjoyed your comments on the other thread. You've gained a lot of wisdom in that area and would be a blessing to men.
Thanks, that’s great encouragement. I appreciated all of your support in the topic too,
I’m disappointed the exchange seems to have ended so quickly tbh!

The Mingling of souls by Matt Chandler.
Talks about God's design for love, marriage, sex and redemption.
God’s good design when it comes to gender and relationships and sex is for all of these things to work rhythmically together in such a way that men and women experience the deepest amount of joy possible while at the same time glorifying God at the highest level possible. The longing in a single person’s heart for a wife or a husband finds its root in God’s glory.
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain... in times of stress, in times of struggle, there’s no putting makeup on a terrible personality. There’s no cosmetic surgery for poverty of character.
Excerpt From: "The Mingling of Souls"
