  • 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

Relationship in trouble...please help.

My boyfriend and I have a wonderful, God centered relationship. We pray, we go to church together, we talk about our faith together, share it with our children (we are both divorced) and were building a wonderful life together, planning to get married etc.

Well, he is very stressed right now and it's really taking a toll on him. He's not wanting to go to church, I don't think he's praying like he used to and he's pushing me away telling me he's "not ready". I feel that he's just afraid to commit again. I have no fear of committment to him, I believe he is who God made me to be with, I've waited my whole life for a man like him - a Godly, family man that truly understands the vows of marriage. He says he feels tempted by other women and since he does he feels he's not ready to commit to me.

Please pray for us that we can get him through this period of doubt and temptation. I love him so very much and it hurts my heart that he's in this stage of confusion, anger, stress and uncertainty. I hurt for him, I hate it that he feels like this and I would do ANYTHING to ease his heart.

I pray for him every night that he might be comforted, find peace in his heart and most importantly re-find his faith. I also pray that he will be brave and realize that I am the best woman for him. He's said it several times, he's said how much he loves me several times for a long time but has these periods of uncertainty. Please pray that we can move on together and his uncertainty will be completely behind him.

I want more than anything a wonderful, God cented, honest relationship with him. I truly believe he wants that with me and our children.

My heart hurts. Please pray for us.

If you could please post your prayer, it would help me pray as well as I am finding it difficult to put the words together.​

Hello peace.....this is not a bad situation......better he deal with his confusion before marriage than during.

Yes pray for him..... but also allow him the time to work through his issues.....

It would seem both your prayers are being answered by him wanting to confront his spiritual issues before marriage.

Time is a great asset...... if you put it on your side.

Blessings

You have no idea how much I needed that today. Thank-you. Today has been very hard.

You're welcome peace......yes it is difficult when we want a certain thing to happen in a given time.....

God's time is different to ours.......He will allow us to wait for years at times to correct a certain situation......and even then we may not be fully aware of His intentions or fully trust in Him.

So be pleased if God is directing you to wait for a period.......it means He is wanting to make both of your paths straight before committing to marriage.

This waiting will teach you patience and a trusting in Him.......and the path He has for you is sure to be different to the path you expect..... for He is seeking to correct your spiritual weaknesses.

Enjoy the journey He has for......James 1:1-4 says it so well
