  • 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.

The last argument I had with my husband was about three weeks ago. I caught him smoking marijuana and looking at pornography in the laundry room after I went to bed. It turned into a real humdinger and God used it to bless me. I learned from that argument that all that stuff is from Satan and if I acknowledge it with anger instead of prayer, I'm giving the devil exactly what he wants--the end of my marriage!

Three years ago.

I finally learned what my mother taught me as a child: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." And God got my attention with some Scriptures:

Proverbs 17:1 Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.

Proverbs 17:14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

Proverbs 19:13 A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.

Proverbs 21:9 Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

Proverbs 21:19 Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife.

Ephesians 4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

2 Timothy 2:23-24 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone.

We don't raise our voices, either, but that's not to say we never have arguments...but they are so few & far between, I can't remember specifically, but probably at some point during the holidays we argued about the scheduling of the "family events"...that would be my guess!!

We never really like go at each other and argue. We get along really well. :)

The last "disagreement" we've had was over something really stupid when we were on vacation in September. I think the whole disagreement lasted an hour.

We don't really argue anymore. We have misunderstandings, like this weekend when my husband said something that REALLY hurt my feelings. But I was feeling a little sensitive and he absolutely didn't mean it the way I took it.

My husband and I share the same goals and values, so I think that makes a HUGE difference in our relationship - we're not fighting eachother to get to difference places. We both want the same things so we work together to get there.

I love him!
