• 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.

  • 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.

Attention, Mr. Right and Miss Right. Your existences have been called into question.

I don't really believe it goes that way. As I said before, I don't believe that God's promised matrimony to all people on earth. You can pray for God's blessings and, yeah, even for a spouse but oftentimes God blesses our lives the way we didn't expect.

I prefer praying for God's will to happen in my life, in general. That includes everything. I don't know if marriage is for me and if it's not the best thing for me I would only end up miserable and make the other person miserable.

I think you do have to give it to God and give up your right to have a spouse. Furthermore, I believe God changes your heart to conform to His will when you simply keep obeying. I'm not saying it's stupid to pray for a spouse if your convinced it's for you but you still have to keep yielding to God's will.

I fully agree. God can bless us in many other ways, and if we aren't intended for a spouse, then He has something else for us. I pray that God works through me in my daily life and that He influence me every decision to His will. If that means that He brings that right person into my life, then thats wonderful. If not I'll be happy with all of the other things that God has richly blessed me with.
