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.
Waiting.......

It's hard to want to be with that person forever and not bbe able to because of many different things. Work on getting things like your finances, education in order before getting married. It's twice as hard to after the fact and it's not nice having to struggle with bills month in and month out.

Heh... i'm gonna be mean blue...
I sooo can't wait...!
But the thing is you sometimes have to.
A good way of going about it, is set an approximate time that it should be ok to by (not WAY in the future like 10 years ither) and then work to that... Save money to get it, part time job, work through issues etc...
Waiting is great, you learn about the person.. including what his favourite meals are

I hear ya, it is tough waiting, but then agan, you just have to some times. With my SO and I, it isn't a matter of proving a commitment at all. And it doesn't really make any difference in how we will act with each other, but it would still be nice just to live together and be closer. We are still going to wait to get finances in order, and school finished before we do get married. And with all of our friends getting married, (who have been together way after we first started to go together) it also kind of makes the wait seem longer.
Anyway, don't worry, it will come soon enough. As previously stated, the wait will be worth it.

I feel your pain.
What gets me through is thinking about all the things I'm thankful for in our relationship and logically assessing just why we have to wait. That makes waiting more sensible to me when my emotions start telling me, "just flipping marry him - screw all this other stuff."

Its totally natural. When we love someone we want to be with them. Eve was taken from Adam. Marriage is a re-creation in some way of that 'one flesh', two individuals merging their lives. Little wonder the desire to be together in every way is so strong. It reflects something of our essential nature founded at the time of creation. It's not just lust, or personal desire - they are small factors in a far more fundamental design.
