• 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.

  • 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

Is it normal?

*shrugs* Age is no matter really. It comes down to how mature the person is. I'm 23, my fiance is 19, we are getting married in October and we also met online. I would not make this decision lightly if I didn't feel she was ready and shes mature enough to know she is and her parents obviousely agree cause they are happy and helping us.

As far as the online thing, I've done it a few times. While it's a great way to learn about someone, a few things to keep in mind. While you can learn some things about a person from them talking on a computer, you can't learn everything. More often than not, a person isn't going to tell you about all the bad things. Another thing is how long are you planning to keep it online before you two decide that one or the other has to move to be closer. Living apart from the person you love is hell and difficult to keep together. Get to know the friends and family of the person. DON'T BE SECRETIVE ABOUT IT. If they won't involve you in their life with friends/family, it's not a healthy relationship and will continue not to be till you do...
