  • 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.

Do you have an "ideal" image of attractive? Like, if you could have picked out all the physical qualities in your parter, what would those be?

Is your partner "ideal"? (meaning that they have the looks that you always admired...or are they a little different than your "ideal" but still love them anyway?)

My ideal in a spouse would be someone smart, funny, nice, romantic and someone who has God put first in their life.

I know that outward attractiveness is only temporary. Looks fade but your personality and heart stay throughout the years.

I feel that if you really love someone, you'd love how they look, no matter what others thought of them.

For me physical attraction comes only after getting to know and love someone. There are people who appeal to my carnal nature immediately, but this is actually a detriment to my considering any kind of real attraction to them. However, once I love someone from the inside out, then I find that I also am completely atteacted to them from the outside in.

This was true with Sara when I was in love with her, but now she is physically neutral in my eyes.

This is true with Jan. although now that I see her with love's eyes, I cannot imagine that she would not always have attracted me physically.

I guess my brain changes.

I do have an ideal image of attractive...a specific body type that I prefer. (By the way, there's nothing wrong with having a preferance as long as it doesn't turn into lust. Some people act as if it's a sin to find a body attractive.) I met the man who is now my fiance on a Christian website and for the first several weeks had only a picture of his face to go by as far as looks, and the picture was about a year old I think. I had no way of knowing what the rest of him looked like and to be honest I didn't give much thought to it. Later, after I began to love him for the person he is, I learned that he is in fact my ideal physical type as well. But I would have loved him the same if he'd been a complete contradiction of my ideal. In fact I'm quite sure my ideal would have changed to suit him.
