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.

It was hard but you did the right thing. If your heart isn't into getting married 100%, then you should stop and reassess the situation, as you did. Find out what's going wrong - and you discovered that the spiritual side of the relationship wasn't strong enough.Work on it. Really work hard on it.
Don't feel pressured by her going back, or at least try not to. You are doing the right thing in trying to mend your relationship before jumping into a marriage that you aren't 100% certain about.

I agree with Byootaful, you did the right thing.
I was with a guy for 5 years thinking we would get married. We had talked about it and he even bought me a ring...but I felt the same uneasiness you described and in the end I knew I had to break off the relationship and trust God to heal my hurting heart. I really loved my boyfriend, but we didn't belong together because we had serious religious differences. Those differences would have prevented us from being as close as God intended a husband and wife to be. I put my faith in God even though it hurt, and a couple years later I married a good man who shares my faith and who truly loves me. Spiritual closeness is so important.. I can't even describe it. Anyway just wait on God and ask Him to provide a mate for you.. He will do SUCH a good job. If he did it for me He can do it for anyone. You may end up with the woman you're with now and you may not, but either way if God's in control the outcome can only be awesome for you.
