• 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

Forever trying said:
(b) If a girls criteria is for a guy to have a job, why shouldn't the guy want that?
Because it is not the wife's duty to support her husband. Call me old-fashioned if you want, but look at Adam and Eve.

Wow. I have such a long list of the qualities I believe God would want my spouse to have. I'll try and condense it.

1. A Christian, first and foremost.
2. Preferably involved in the ministry such as youth or music.
3. Being a virgin isn't important to me, but he must be striving for the utmost purity. Otherwise he will not understand, nor respect, my decision to save even a kiss for our wedding day.
4. He has to live on his own or at least have the financial means to move out and live on his own and support a wife.
5. He has to have a stable job to where I would be able to stay at home to raise and homeschool our children.
6. He has to understand that my doctors have advised me to not get pregnant. At first I was very upset that my health limits my ability to carry a pregnancy safely to full-term; however, God has laid a strong calling on my life to adopt children.
7. He has to be at least four inches taller than I am (I'm 5'5")
8. My family must approve of the relationship. I look to my parents to screen any potential suitor and I trust their godly intuition and wisdom when I'm in a relationship.
9. It is preferred that he have a strong relationship with both of his parents (unless one or both are deceased). I want a man with strong family values.
10. He must be Spirit filled and Spirit led.
11. He should be older than me and definitely more spiritually mature (so he may fill the God-commanded role of being the spiritual leader of our home).

What qualities would I like in a mate? Besides being female and Christian? Hmm..

Whatever that combination of qualities is that would enable her to love/put up with a recovering-hippie-musician-gamer-geek-librarian like me, I guess...
