  • 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

My fiancee and I are planning on getting married someday, we haven't picked out a date yet, but It will just kinda depend on his schooling and whatnot.

Anyhow, we have seen eachother almost every day for the past 5 months and now he has to move an hour and a half to go to school. He is building me a computer so that i can keep contact with him on instant messenger all the time, and he said we could talk on the phone which is great when he is avaliable.

I am definatly for him persuing his dreams and bettering himself. The school he is going to is the best in our state, its just that we are going from seeing eachother almost every day, to me being able to see him when he comes down which is like 2-3 times a month.

I know that he wants to marry me, and I am 100% sure I want to spend the rest of my life with him, i guess i am just getting really insecure about things.

Things such as...what if he finds a girl way better than me. There are supposibly over 13,000 girls where he's moving:sigh: . (its a college town) I don't exactly have real high self esteem since i screwed my life up really bad in the past and now im 22 and starting all over again. He tells me i am everything he wants in a wife, i guess i am just afraid he is going to find some prettier, more successful, christian girl and start dating her since she lives closer:cry: . I know i probably sound completely stupid, but I really am in love with him. I know he would never cheat on me, so i'm not worried about that. I know that I would be a wonderful wife to him. I am 100% all about the Biblical marriage in every way. I guess I just worry. Am i stupid for feeling this way:scratch: ? I have never met any guy that could ever compare to him. And i know that if anything were to happen to us, i would always have super high standards and always compare everyone to him. Things like "anthony would never have yelled at me like that" and whatnot. He is just amazing. We are compatible in every way. But im still insecure. Help please?:help:

Honey, do not have low self esteem about yourself. Some people don't get their life on track until they are much older than you. You are still a young beautiful woman of God. I understand your insecurity but don't put God in a box by thinking that there is no one out there as good as or better than Anthony. If you and Anthony WERE to break up, it would be because God wanted that to happen, and he could have someone much better out there for you.

If you act insecure ...that may lead to clingyness and not giving him space :( That makes men run away like children running away on the last day of school. If he tells you that he wants to spend his life with you, and you have that ring on your finger, the best you can do is trust in God. *hug*

God Bless,

Steffani

I think worries are a way of drawing us closer to God. Jesus and many other wise men have said not to worry. But we are only human and susceptable to worry among other weaknesses. God will take care of you, regardless of what happens with regards to that which you worry about.
