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 am AMAZED at the people who think you can't live a good life, or can't experience a lot after marriage. I've done more, seen more, and experienced more in the past 2 years than I did my whole 19 years before getting married! Marriage isn't the end of the road--it's the beginning of a new and better one!

Got married last yr when I was 2 mo. away from being 19 (i'm fixing to turn 20) we have been together for 4 1/2 yrs married for 1 and I know God blesses our marriage. He put us together to help each other get saved and to support each other in hard times. he is 22, a restaurant mang. and i do homecare in the evenings plus I am a full time college student in my second (sophmore) yr. It really isn't that hard we make plenty of money and still have plenty of time to see each other. We have been together for so long that we were each other's best friends anyway, and actually, now that I am not going over to see him all the time because I live w/ him, I actually see my friends more. Its not for everybody, but I feel it was very right for us. Jesus has to be in your life, and if he is, and you both pray together and remember to death til you part and that your in this life together now there is no way your marriage can fail.

I just got engaged to the love of my life, and I am only 21, my fiancee is still 17. We will be getting married towards the end of next year. I honestly feel that I am doing the right thing, and I believe it will be for the good of both of us. A preacher friend of mine who is also a professional marriage councellor, says the best ages to get married is between the ages of 18-22. I'll be 22, and she will be 18. We already have a car, somewhere to live and will be out of the rental market within three years, the wedding is already paid for, the house is almost completely furnished and we haven't even moved in yet... All I can say is I wouldn't want to face this situation without the support of a brillant Pastor, wonderful parents, great friends, and enough finance and job security to be on top of the eight ball.

I also believe that I will be able to minister a whole lot more effectively with my wife then I could possibly by myself. I am an evangalist, while she is a brillant musician, our ministry together have a far greater potential then either one on their own. Grow together with God is what I want to do. I can't see the point of waiting... waiting for what?
