• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Do you feel like there's stuff or at least one thing that God is trying to work in you before you find that SO and marry?

For me, it's definitely patience. God works sooooo slow.
I don't think the Lord wants me to marry, and I don't want to marry.

Not for me, I do not feel there is anything left for me to do. Things have been in place for sometime and I either have not been interested, or the women attracted to me did not appeal well enough for me.
I own a few acreages, they are paid off, no car payments, no real bills. The Lord has blessed me with more than I deserve. Have not smoked or gambled, wasted what I earned. Have retirement in place for when I am older, etc.
I love making road trips, snowboarding, drag racing, playing with cars and boats. She would want to be what the Lord made her to be- a helper. Not too many women see themselves as a helper since the womens lib of the 50s and 60s. Most women want to wear the pants. That will not work for me.


Being single, happy and not all stressed out is wonderful. I love having all my time to myself and to what I want. I am not rich, I just have earned and invested enough I do not need to work anyone. Not full time at least.
Whenever I meet a potential gal, I have to evaluate if she is worth the complication that would change my life, etc.

Yeah, it's called a career lol
I'm retired. Well, I'd like to be a successful musician. Three of us from my church are making a CD of Christian songs we've written. You'll all have to buy one.

As much as I'm in favor of self-improvement, and as much as I'm aware of things I'd like to improve, I'm not aware of any improvements that would lead God to reward me with a spouse. I don't think he works that way.

I guess some people are just not meant to ever get married.
