Couples Attending Different Churches: Word For You by lightblazingnow(m): 10:27am On Apr 30, 2017
Have you ever seen husband and wife attending different churches? I have. And it's the beginning of divorce. First of all couples need to realise that marriage is unity of the body. They have become one and none should divide them, not even a church membership.


The way and manner membership of divers churches is getting into the lives and marriages of several families in Nigeria and the world is alarming. Take for instance the marriage of one of the greatest preachers of our time pastor Chris of Christ Embassy, how his marriage hit the rock because of ignorance. He thought he was serving the living God and separated with his wife physically.

He sent her to the UK and he stayed in south Africa, traveling the world without her in the end you heard the pains of the woman. She felt she is not having enough of the husband attention and caring. She even accused him of adultery which personally I don't believe such ever happened. I repeat pastor Chris whom I know and have met several times would never even contemplate of such.


The point I am trying to make is, stop attending different churches husband and wife. If you are a pastor and you have branches, stay with your wife or husband in the same place. Hear the same message, pray the same prayer points and stay together. No man should divide them.


Just an advice oo. If you have any contrary view let me know.

Lol.. There just has to be some room for compromise..




If I should marry a girl outside the catholic faith, well we can get married in her church.. But the kids will be baptized and brought up in the catholic church and we both will attend same church ..

@bolded, the Pastor Chris whom you know is an ignoramus, or his wife was, right?


Well according to this OP, Christ Embassy, SA is preaching and practicing a doctrine different from Christ Embassy, UK.

The example you use as case study was not a result of attending "different churches" but staying and living apart for too long, which created room for other things to set in.

Besides, I was thinking what you meant to say would be along the line of wife attending Catholic Church and husband attending Mountain of Fire ministries.

Not necessarily..


What about couples that are not of the same religion and still married for decades?

Going to the same church doesn't mean jack sh1t. Most divorces of today are of couples who attend the same church or mosque, so spare me that BS.

No one knows what works and what doesn't in marriage. What actually kept mine might crush yours. It depends on mutual understanding and agreement. My mum attends RCCG, dad attends Deeper life. I don't go to Church at all. My siblings go to RCCG. They are the best couple I have ever seen. 27years and they are still together in love.

God is everywhere

My wife is allowed to go to her choice chosen Church provided is not a Native doctor's House


Don't force anyone against his/her way of serving God

Going to same Church don't always mean we both over love each other,

She might be following you to your Church out of force/out of her wish which won't allow the prayers to work

Any family that will last long in this Indomie Generation needs free minded living,

Understanding is all dats required. Attending the same church does not mean there wont be issues. Attending different churches doesnt mean there will be a divorce.

But then each partner must understand each others choices and respect it. Forcing your spouse to attend a church against his/her will is d beginning of problem.

It all boils down to submission no submissive woman will do that, a pastor went back to his home town to start ministry this did not go down well with the wife who then decided to attend a popular church in same area after a while the man separated from her and remarried
