  • 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

I want to say hi to everyone.

I have been engaged to my fiancee for almost 3 months now and our wedding is in September.

Right now I am having issues with my thoughts and actions on a physical level. It is very frustrating because of past experiences. I pray about this a lot and communicate things to her, but I can't seem to tackle it. I just really need prayer and encouragement right now and any advice would be great.

Although I'm not officially engaged or anything (just dating with the goal of marriage at some point), I know what you mean. My boyfriends has been struggling with the same thing. We decided that we were not going to kiss at all until our wedding day. It is extremely hard but it will be worth it .

I will keep you in my prayers. My wedding is the 8th of September and trust me, it's hard for both of us. But God has given us the strength to say absolutely NO to anything impure, with the promise that what comes after marriage is so much better, so much more intimate, because we waited. We make sure that we talk about how we're feeling, and we're not afraid to show some physical intimacy, i.e. hugs, kisses, little touches, but nothing inappropriate. God bless you and he will give you the strength to make it :)
