  • 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, I'm so sorry to hear that.

This is only my opinion, but I shouldn't think you ought to be obliged to marry him unless that is what you both want. I don't think it would exactly be a good start for a marriage.
Could you perhaps get the advice of a church minister - maybe a femalre one, or maybe a Christian counseller?
I do hope everything will work out well for you and the baby.

Sorry that you are faced with such a tough set of circumtances.

There is no reason, biblical or otherwise, that you have to marry this person. The obvious felings that you have about what has been done to you would make a relationship very difficult.

I do commend you for making the choice to think of the child over what might be easiest for you.

I would hope that you have family that may be willing to help if you wish to raise the child but adoption is an option if thatis not the case. With private adoptions other parents that would like children and cannot have them will help with the expenses that you will incur and assure that the baby will have all that it needs now and in the future.

Oh my goodness! Well, I should definitely get proper advice. Is he normally like that - would he be a danger to you or your baby? If so, it prob would def, not be a good idea to marry him. Does he want to marry you?
Sorry, I realise it's a very sensitive issue, so I don't want to ask to many personal questions or upset you.
