  • 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.

Minus, my fiance and I are doing the same thing... we are engaged, but we both live under the same roof. We worried about what people thought about our living situation, but we aren't sleeping together anymore... haven't for over a year, we are staying abstinate. He sleeps on the floor, just like you with cushions and lots of blankets. He had a blow up bed, but the dog popped it, lol. I sleep on the futon, because we can't afford anything else. We aren't sure when we can get married because my family doesn't approve of us being together, even though we are both Christian. We thought about just going and getting married at the court house, but i would like to be married in a church, and before you can do that, you have to go to counseling and stuff, for 6 months before you can marry..

Anyway, so you aren't alone in the living together thing and also being abstinent, we are in the same boat as you!!

God bless...

Hello

I think it's marvellous that you guys have found the Lord your Saviour together! You will know the answer, as the Spirit will provide it for you. The important aspect, in my opinion, is that you are both saved and living to Gods plan (even if it is under the one roof).


peace
