• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Why do men find it so hard to say I love you?

Also, why don't men want to get married?
I think that the phrase "I love you" is used way too much. The phrase means way more than "I realy like you" but many people use it like that.
I also don't want to tell a girl "I love you" and then a month from now break up with her. That would be playing with her feelings and playing with mine also.
For me, it is a very powerful phrase and not to be used lightly.
I don't know if I'm making sence or just repeating the same over and over again, but when I say it, I want to mean it... and I still haven't found that girl to tell it to.

And as fr geting married... I want to get married as soon as possible, but at the same time it scares me. I want to be completely and totaly sure that the girl I marry is the girl that God has for me and the girl that will be with me until one of us dies.

These actions you describe show affection, not love. For information on how love is shown, see 1st corinthians chapter 13.
That reminds me of something sweet!

A friend was recently proposed to by her boyfriend (naturally) and this is how he did it:

He turned to I Cor 13 and started reading it to her. When he got to verse 4 he substituted her name for Love (or Charity). When he finished reading he asked for her hand in marriage. I thought it was beautiful after hearing about it.
