• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Not necessarily. Kegel exercises have always been thought of as a chick thing. Few men realize that there are ways that they can benefit from them also.

Okay, I understand your point but with the research my fiance does into this kind of thing, I'm positive that he already knows all about it.

First you have to find someone who will agree to marry you, then you get a couple of rings and twenty bucks. Then you go to the court house and get a marriage license. Finally you go to the JP and get hitched.

How does one prepare for marriage? This is a very broad question.
If you’re talking about the physical things you will need to start your home start a
Hope chest. Start buying toaster, pillow & cases, dishes, pot’s & panes Etc…
But more important than those things, is the Man G-d will brings to you.
First of all start by praying: Ask G-d for a G-dly man, a man that will lead you and your children in to the thing of G-d & deeper understanding of G-d & reading the word & prayer. Next start praying for your Children. That they will have the spirit of G-d from an early age, and keep with G-d, as they get older. And for a G-dly spouse for your children. And pray for your Grandchildren and for generations to come.
When it comes to making disunions about a husband Ask DAD and mom you have many years of wisdom at your fingertips. If you choose to listen and then do. Ask DAD & mom to pray and ask G-d for his wisdom to help guide them and you. And befor a decision is made to marry. You should pray and ask the L-rd if this is right, DAD & mom should pray and ask the L-rd if this is right, then your Rabbi [Pastor] should pray and ask if this is right. And if all are in agreement then it moves ahead.

The way I do courtship is like this: If a boy is interested in my Daughter, he comes to me; they are never allowed to be alone together, no kissing, and no driving off together. It’s with a group or with a chaperone with them; they are never to be alone together. When the young man comes to me and asks if he can marry my daughter, I will ask him “has he and his parents prayed about this.” Then I will pray, then I will ask my wife to pray, then we will pray together, then we will go to my daughter and ask her to pray about this [this she would have done already I will just check with her] Now I will go to our Rabbi and ask him to pray. If all are in agreement then the date is set.
The dating thing as we know it today did not excess 100 years ago.

Shalom.
