  • 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.

What do you look for in a partner?

I look for a guy who has deep love for Christ. Shows respect for everyone. I look for somebody who has a sense of clean humor and enjoys relaxation activities. I also look for a man who can some what cook, clean. I am disabeled have minor Cp. I look for a man to really to encourage me and he also needs to be family oriented.

I am not into dating right now but i feel closer to dating and i hope in the next year or too to start on the journey dating.

Am i asking too much for the right one to marry. I do relize i wont meet the perfect one, but i hope when i start i have Godly women to help me out.

I did not have a very good childhood so my thoughts are sometimes not right.

I look at how they act when they think no one is watching. I value sincerity and honesty, kindness and grace; self control. Guys are attractive to me and I find myself thinking of them in a partner sense if they are who they say they are and they have a passion for life and God. That is exciting to me

Your not as all being too much at all. You are being true and real about who you are. I live with stuttering, and I completely understand that during my bad times, my future wife may have to talk for me at times. For it's not being unreasonable to desire a women with the patience to listen to me, and to be able to speak on my behalf (though I will never hide behind my wife, in a none sexist way).

The question, you need to ask yourself Taylor, of your desires and needs in a partner....What can I do for him? What can you in return help him with? I don't mean this in a bad way, but look in your heart and find the good things that God created. What could you bring to the relationship? If your husband did what you need him to do for you, what could you do for him in return?

First and formost, he has to be in love the God. Put God first and me second.

He must be spirit filled and charismatic, as I tend to get very excited in the Holy Spirit.

I lean towards teddy bear type men, with or without hair, bald can be sexy.

He must be able to communicate with me when there is a problem.

Someone that we can pray together every day and possible work in the ministry together.

He must be goal oriented.

Considering I am not the greatest catch, I will need someone who will accept me for who I am and who the Lord made me to be.

I am fragile though. Was in a five year engagement and didn't get married, so I have built some pretty tall walls around me when it comes to men. So he needs to be patient and understanding as well.

But the most important part, is that we need to be able to be comfortable with eachother in every situation, the good and the bad.

Not asking for prince charming, not asking for a rich man (but a job would be nice), just the one the Lord has made for me.

Always able to joke about anything!! And I mean anything! This will seem sick to some, but I don't get attached emotionally to pets, at all. When my sister's dog went exploring one day we think she got bit by a snake. We found her being eaten by buzzards a few days later. Me and a couple of friends stumbled upon her while we were riding 4-wheelers. I won't go into detail of what her corpse looked like, I'll leave that to your imagination. That's not the sick part though. One of my friends says,

"Maybe she's just playing dead..."

I know that is terrible, but I couldn't help myself from laughing. And honestly it made me feel better. I don't think that death is something to be taken so seriously. So many people make it into such a big deal. It happens, why not just accept it and move on. Laughter is the best medicine for anything. When I die I want doctors cutting me into pieces giving my parts to people that could use them. I don't need my organs and I don't care what people do when I die, I don't need any kind of funeral. I do get emotional when relatives and family pass on, but it happens and I don't see why we can't put on a smile and just accept it.

Amen to that Jeff!

I don't get why people get all super attatched to animals. I had this beautiful cat, and when I had to give it away because I was moving, my boyfriend at the time, actually cried when the people who were adopting her, took her away. What a freakin crybaby. It was just a CAT.

I disagree but I would wouldn't I? lol.

I think it's actually healthy to mourn a pets death if it has hit you hard - it's not healthy to keep your emotions in. Some people feel a link with animals and some just don't, I'm one of those people who do feel an affinity with everyone of God's creatures.
