  • 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.

I'm was a serial dater. My mother used to tease me by saying I changed boyfriends like I changed underwear. She thought she was funny.

I feel fortunate that I am my husbands first "real" girlfriend. He said he was very intent on waiting for God to provide him with the woman he would end up marrying - that was me :) We've been married for 7 years.

No he wasn't my first, I had my first boyfriend when I was 13. I broke up with the first, "talked" with the second for a few weeks, broke it off. 2 months later I started dating my Hubby. I was 14 at the time he was 16. We have never broken up, obviously since we have been married for 5 years now.
14 is not too young to find the right one, or for a relationship to survive if God is in it.

I had boyfriend after boyfriend as a non-Christian teen. I was so hungry to find someone (anyone) to love me. When I made a commitment to Christ, to live my life for Him, I committed to not dating again, and even though I longed for a "partner", God provided my husband in His time and in His own incredible way.

My husband had never dated, and had never kissed another girl. What an incredible blessing that Hosea & Gomer would find love, peace, beauty and faithfulness.

Does it matter?
It does to me. I feel a great joy, peace and satisfaction in knowing my husband has never been with another woman. I am forgiven my past sins, but how I wish I had come to my husband on our wedding night a virgin. I robbed our marriage of something God originally planned marriage to have. I don't mean I beat myself up daily about it, but I do remember my past, and we all live with the consequence of our sin.

Cheers,
Ruby

He was my first boyfriend, first kiss, first...well, everything :D We started dating when I was 18 and we were married a bit over a year ago.
I was not his first girlfriend by a long shot. I wish I had been, but it hasn't caused us serious problems.
Except if you consider running into his most serious ex fairly regularly...how awkward!
