  • 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

:mmh:Ideal marriage?
Hmm...

Well, first, I'd wait for the man God has in mind for me as I trust Him fully over trusting my heart on my own strength.
Then after getting to know each other well enough, I'd wait again for God to say "ok, now you can marry"... or something to that effect.
So, the ideal marriage.... I guess there's really no 'ideal' marriage when you really think about it. To me, 'ideal' means to hold a certain picture in your mind as to what you expect a marriage to be. That, in my opinion, is wrong. In a marriage, you make the decision to love, to have, and to hold this person for the rest of your life. That truly does mean through the good and bad, but both parties have to put in the effort. If one doesn't put in the effort... then it is one-sided, and that's a very dangerous thing to do.

When I marry, I will always be thinking of Christ's love for his church. That is how I will love my husband.

Forgive me if I am thinking too broad here. :ahem:
