  • 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

I get what you are saying. I’m not saying I want to marry him tomorrow but we have talked about it which makes me happy to know that he is thinking about marriage. What my mom and aunt suggest is that I not even date him they believe that I should break up with him because God hasn’t told me he’s the one for me and if I haven’t received confirmation from God then I’m wasting my time. That’s where it confuses me and I question should I keep dating him or am I disobeying God by not getting confirmation first and I should not be dating him?
Is this guy divorced or married? What do they know about him?

Neither. They know nothing about him. My mom doesn’t even want me talking to her about him unless God has told me or her that he is the one he chose for me otherwise she says I’m wasting my time and I’m setting myself up for failure.
Sounds like a teaching she picked up from somewhere that she hasn't been able to rightly apply to her own life. The blind leading the blind. Sadly, it does sound like talking to her about your relationship is a waste of time, at least for now. This doesn't mean the relationship is a waste of time.
