• 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.

With the recent posts of questioning the worth of marriage...

If I met you and we fell in love and we decided to get married after getting to know each other enough...and we decided to get married soon---would you be expecting a huge wedding and some expensive ring?

NO. I would prefer a small wedding (preferably outdoors in my bare feet ), and I'm a thrifty one.

What if I said I was poor, and I could only afford a small wedding and a ring valued like $500-1000 tops?

I'd prefer a small wedding, and I'd be scared to wear a ring that cost more than $500! (I'd be afraid of losing it)

And we went on a simple honeymoon.

Wouldn't bother me.

Would this change you're whole marriage experience? Would it make you think I'm a cheap (fatherless son)?

No. No.

Would you marry me because you loved me and I loved you and we knew we were meant for each other even though you knew that I wasn't going to spend a lot of money on a ring/marriage/honeymoon (NOT because I'm cheap but because I don't have the money)?
Click to expand...
Yes. I'm thrifty myself, and hate spending money on credit. If you don't have the money to spare, tis better not to spend it in my book.

I'd really like your honest opinions.

Well you got them!
