  • 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.

Well, what is more important is knowing the person you're going to be with, the things she likes, enjoys, etc....not every gal likes the same things. I think it's best to pray to God to ask Him to mold you into being the best for your mate. Continue to follow His leading in that area & let Him do the works in you.

Something that ive come to realise in the past is that...

Women are different from men, and not just physically.

They SEE the world differently to us... They multitask, we dont - for a start. Cmon lads, lets admit it, swallow our pride!

I read something in which a woman recovering from breast cancer was complainging about the scars to her husband - her husband lovingly said he would pay for plastic surgery to remove them. But she didnt see it that way, she was upset that he suggested MORE surgery.

Its just a fact.


So... bear that in mind!


God Bless, emtal.

That's a really big bill to fill. And it's going to be different for every woman you meet because all women have differents wants, likes, and needs.

The best you can do is be yourself, first and foremost, and be attentive. Listen to what she has to say, Learn about her, act on what you've learned. Be open and honest with her and keep both of your feelings in the open. The best approach is keeping communications flowing.

I like when a guy tells me how he is really feeling, I always say straight out how I am feeling, I've been told I'm very upfront and honest, and I expect the same from my b/f.
HONESTY is a big one too. I've been cheated on in the past and I expect faithfulness, honesty, and he shouldn't give me any reason to have doubts about him.
Compliments... just for any old reason but it must be true, not just saying it!

I'm not a woman but let me tell you about some things that have opened my eyes on this subject.

PRAYER is the most improtant thing then:

STUDY Ephesians 5:18-6:4 and I meen STUDY do not just read and then LIVE it. Being "Filled with The Spirit of God" anything is possible.

read "If he only knew" by~~Gary Smalley

I think these things will help you.

peace

Proverbs 3:3-4 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

Jeremiah 9:23-24 This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD.

Philippians 2:1-4 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

James 3:17-18 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

In summary, instead of trying to impress your lovey dovey with outward stuff, astound her with your heart, your good character! ;)

Wholehearted praying for her will gain God's favor and hers! :D

LISTEN to her... and I don't mean just to listen... I mean really pay attention to what she is saying and how she is feeling. What is important to her? What makes her angry, happy, sad? When's her birthday? What are her favourite memories? etc, etc. She should be doing the same for you, of course... but this makes communication effective and helps her to trust you.

Always be honest.

And of course, be a godly man. Study your Bible and work on your relationship with God, and do your best to be Christlike--no woman can resist that. :)

Think of it this way:

Before you were a believer you were married to the law and slave to sin. When God sent His song Jesus Christ, He abolished the law and now you are married to Him.

Strive to become like Jesus Christ, express His grace for you with others and stay focus on Him and not on finding a partner. Your potential spouse will notice this, and if you are a man of God, do the initiation like Christ did with the Church, be vulnerable to the world and most importantly be honest and encourage one another in the Body of Christ.

Take care and God Bless,
Love in Christ

Peter
