• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Oh, okay! :)
After my second ex-boyfriend, I never thought I'd love again. In fact, the day we (my fiance and I) became official (as a couple), we bickered like siblings! :p

We have a date but no year. We want to keep our anniversary our wedding anniversary. So August 30th of whatever year! :p

Ok, see that's one other thing I don't get. Getting engaged and not setting a real tangible date. Why do people do that? It's just the same as dating but there's a ring on your finger. That would just irritate me.

I've seen couples string along as "engaged" for years. It doesn't make sense to me. Why not just get married?

If you look up articles on courting vs. dating, usually courting is viewed more as a period leading up to marriage. I've also viewed it personally as this. Some people view it a bit different, but I believe the more widely accepted version is that courtship is about marriage.

A good quote from a website:

Exactly how I view it, too.

And since we're the resident "older" couple (*shudder*), I don't expect some of you (ahem, Caitlyn lol) to be ready to walk down the aisle tomorrow, lol. Take your time!! I was most certainly NOT ready for marriage in my early 20's.

Thanks Don! Well I always looked at dating from a more serious standpoint.
I'm certainly being wooed by someone who also takes the idea of entering a relationship seriously. I guess I just always looked at it all as dating. :)

Same here, and so glad for you (I almost ee'ed here, but managed to maintain my manly dignity).

Well, you and Vicky make me want to go Eeeeee quite often as well.
You two are adorable. Then again I don't have any manly dignity to keep. :muahah:

So I'll just keep on being girly about all the love in the air.

:piripi: :love: :love2: :papapa:
