  • 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 boyfriend and i are both Christians, we've been together for 3 years. When we first met i wasn't Christian but really wanted to learn about God. We have gone through alot of struggles, him growing up in a humble christian home, and my family being non-christian, and obsessed with "stuff".

recently, i get this feeling like some girl is going to come around and sweep him off his feet, and its not going to be me. I've prayed about it, but still feel un-easy. we have plans to be together for the long-term. We mesh so perfectly with our aspirations and things we want in life. I know he loves me, but theres still this thought in my head that says "what if this girl he wants to write songs with is more solid than i am? what if she's everything he wants in a woman?"

any advice?

Do you feel he will judge you based on your family? You have changed your life and your heart for him and for God. He should be so lucky to have someone like you.

My advice would be to talk to him about it. Tell him how you feel and why you are having these feelings in the first place. They are coming from somewhere, and maybe finding out why you feel this way might help.

These are common fears and I would talk to him about it and tell him that you have worries about it. Don't phrase it as though you are accusing him or her but more of a

"Hey this is probably just me but I'm just a little worried about this girl and you spending time together."

Don't be overly aggressive about this. Ultimatly you have to trust that the guy can be in the same room with another girl without anything happening. And it would be a mistake to try to forbid him from doing these things or try to keep him away from her.

We as humans often struggle with many insecurities. Many people have those same insecurities in a relationship because you have a humbled view of yourself. Thinking that you don't deserve someone as great as he is. But God is a great God, He is going to provide someone for you that is so awesome that you don't deserve him. And knowing we don't deserve it should keep us thankful and grateful.

You should definitely pray for guidance, but it's also something you should talk about with your guy. If the relationship is something God wants than your guy will help put your fears to rest.

all good things come from God
He loves you and He watches over you
do not worry about the future, just trust in God and seek to love Him more all the time

i know that sounds corny, but the joy you get when you give up worry and have nothing but a desire for the will of God is amazing

This is very true. You can't allow the feelings you have over this cause tension in the relationship because you will stop trusting him when other women are around because it will, in the end, be the end of any relationship you have with him because it will drive him away.

Don't focus so much oh what COULD happen. It sounds like this guy really loves you and that should be reason enough to put your mind at ease. If he truly loves you then your all hes going to want.

Correct! I think love is the only thing that keeps relationship going
