• 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.

So I am currently 18 and I have been dating my boyfriend for about eight months now. I cannot describe the love I have for him. He is my absolute best friend and I am so crazy in love with him. He is not my first love, though. Nor am I his. But both of us agree that neither of us have loved anyone as deeply and intensely as we love each other. I truly believe he is the one God has chosen for me. I am just unsure though because I do not want to be another cliche teenage love story. We both love each other so very much and want to be each other forever. He believes I am his "one". I have tried to ask God if my boyfriend is the one He has chosen for me. I do not believe I will meet anyone as impeccable as him, nor do I want to. Please, help me. I need reassurance. I need to know if this is whom I am meant to marry.

I don't think God has one specific person picked out for you, to be honest.

But if you truly love him, and he truly loves you. Get married.
Though I think you may be a little young to make a decision as important as marriage, you must ask yourself, is it what you want? Do you want to live with him forever? You must not have any uncertainty in this decision..
If the answer to these questions are a 100% yes, then you may want to marry.
Don't let the love blind your decision though, you must search your heart and find your true desire.

Talk with your boyfriend, and ask him the same questions I've asked you. If the answers are yes, then it's meant to be.
Hope I helped :)
Welcome to the forums btw :D And God bless!

Yes continue to pray. You've probably already started looking at some things - How do his parents interact? Yours? For both: what are the preferred method of conflict resolution? What are your goals for every area and how do you plan to achieve those? At the most stressful moments, what comes through?

There's great martial advice in Scripture.

No one is impeccable, so thinking he is will be setting your relationship to fail. It also sounds more like infatuation than love because it is so starry eyed.

Take your time, walk slowly, impatience is your enemy here.
