• 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.

i've decided.

Oh dear children. It matters not who it is, that you will one day kiss. Much rather should it matter that you wait, for the one GOD provides. He has someone for both of you, and all that is required of you is trust.

I speak, because I didn't wait. I now have the brokenness of knowing I didn't wait for who God would provide, and now, I won't have the joy of my first kiss being the woman who I marry. I entered into sin, and now, I have to tell my wife when I get married (or before), all that I did, all that I took from my wife, instead of saving it for her.

Please, dear children, wait on God. Wait not in pride, but wait in humility, and trust in the Lord, for He will deliver. Just wait. And let the Lord work.

I think it's a good way to make sure your first kiss will be good and something to wait for. I admire you for your choice, and hope that it will last. Just don't make a too big deal out of it unless you want to be reminded of it too often - some people won't be able to understand. [I sometimes wish I'd made this desicion as well, but now it's sort of too late...]

I would have to agree with you, I haven't been in your shoes before but I know other people who have been. My goal is to the same as turtlegurl. Also my advice is for people to listen to you because it's better to listen to others from their experiences or mistakes and to learn from them. Hoping that listening to them will help us out and keep us from making the same mistake.

It's fine for some people but definitely not fine for me. :p Besides it would make me feel better if my wife had kissed quite a lot. It would me feel special that she chose my lips over all those other lips.
