• 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

Marriage is indeed challenging. Sometimes it seems all work and no fun. I think the challenge should be 20% instead of 80%.
Indeed. But if it is at 80%, then something needs fixing rather badly. How often should you think about how hungry you are? If you don’t eat it will be 100% of the time when it should be in the 10-20% range.

If you try to force yourself to only spend 20% when you need to fix something, it will only get worse. Find out what is wrong; work on fixing that, and then once it is fixed, you can back off to 20%.
