  • 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.

Wow...this is all so fitting for my relationship! I don't know how many times I, or my boyfriend, have said "GOSH...I just don't know how to tell you or show you how much I love you!" All of these posts re: this topic are very interesting and helpful!!! THANKS!!

I think this is how all relationships should be...true love. I think that alot of the things we talk about in this thread can be applied to many people's relationships. I ask myself the same question...how can I show Marissa my love. I agree that alot comes from the "little things". And I will do all that I can to show my unconditional compassion and love towards her. But sometimes I feel like I could die for her a thousand times...and it would still not be enough. I cant explain it. I wish I could do something so incredibly sweet for her...that she would be moved to tears. I am just splitting at the sides...with love for her...I wish there was some massive way I could show it to her. lol I dunno. Maybe I'm just weird.

The best advice I could give you is to pay attention to the little things about Marissa! To "you guys" it might sound like just that...LITTLE, but to "use girls" it's so cute! Say one time...just ONE time we mention something about our favorite color or what what have you! If you do something sweet to show us you were listening (I dunno...like get us a shirt in that color...or something little like that...you get what I'm saying) that can mean the WORLD to us! ...Especially if it happens to come on a day when we're just feeling like **** (cuz ya know...it's a girl thing, lol)! It's just the little things that mean so much to us, because--as girls--we pay attention to details and I guess we just assume that guys should too (even though they typically don't)! I know for me it's the little things that Steve does that mean SOOOO much! Just last night we were talking on the phone and I developed a HUGE migraine and I just started crying because it hurt so bad and he just stayed there on the phone with me and put up with my crying! And he would whisper sweet little things like "shhh...sweetie it'll be okay, just get some rest..." and that all meant SOOO much to me! I mean...some guys (unfortunately) would be like "oh geez...stop your crying" (especially with me cuz I cry and whine all the time), but Steve just stayed right by my side until I fell asleep...it was the sweetest, most loving thing ever!!! Anyway...hope I could be of some help!! GOOD LUCK!!

She is also a very emotional girl. I have absolutely no problem with tears. I love her just the way she is...for everything she is. I love the fact that she is emotional. I actually love to see her cry...it shows me that she really cares. I bury my emotions deep down inside so no one knows how I am feeling...but she is so open. If she is sad...she cries. If she is angry...she yells. It show me how she really feels so I can help her. I am very glad she is emotional. I love her so much. She cries often on the phone with me. She cries in my arms. She cries whenever I play the piano for her and/or sing one of my songs for her. I have written many songs for her already, and she cries everytime I sing one of her songs for her. I love to see that it really means alot to her. And when I finish the song, I get up and go sit next to her and embrace her in my arms and tell her how much she means to me. I hold her and let her tears run all down my arms. I hold her head up and kiss her wet face. I love her so very much. I just feel so insignificant compared to God's love for me. I feel like I could continue all this love for her...but it is still nothing compared to God's love for me.

Well...by the sounds of it, you're already doing an AWESOME job showing her how much you love her and I can almost GUARANTEE that she appreciates it more than you can imagine!! Believe me...she knows how much you love her! I read one of your other posts somewhere about her ex and it sounds like you are already WAYYYYYYYY better to her than he ever was! Just keep doing what you're doing!!

Yes, I agree with Pope Gonzo! Also, I don't think there is exactly ONE thing that you can do to show your love (other than sex WITHIN the context of marriage)! My advice is to just do lots of little, thoughtful things for her and just be there for her and comfort him whenever she needs it! Also...let her do the same for you, because I'm sure there are times when she wants to show you how much she loves you!!

And I do...I truley do. I thank God every night that I can show Him my love through my love for Marissa. That I can love her...and love Him simultaneously. She is so beautiful...I can only imagine how beautiful the Son of Man will be on that faithful day...when the clouds part and trumpets sound. I can only imagine - Mercy Me.
