Thanks for your reply however....

Mt 5:48...So be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

It will be perfect to follow the bible in this situations. I believe word of the lord is good and it's the foundation we should follow no "em..." or "maybe" If the bible command us to do whatever, then who are we to question it ?

A Christian lady would not marry pervert Husband-to-be to being with, Holy spirit will guide her. By the way, a wife can go to any length to submit to her husband sexually. Leviticus 20 emphasize on sexual moralities, what sexual intercourse is permitted ans what is not. Go read it!




However....I stand corrected!

Thanks bro!

Even on the issue of which denomination to attend I wouldn't want my wife to worship at my denomination because i forced her to, i'd love her to choose from her heart...that way we'll worship with love and not out of subjugation...

DestinedSharon:

It all depends on d matter on d table. For instance worship place: there are churches I'll never step my feet into. So if I love d man in question n wish to be with him, I'll tell him in a very cool mood ''Baby, I dnt like this Ur church n also do not wish it comes between us, pls, lets look for a better church to be worshipping with together...'' this discussion will always be in d course of our dating not after marriage.
That is a logical approach you have there and it matters a lot. I agree! Issues should always be discussed prior to marriage cool

I wasnt comfortable with mine. I love the hymns in the anglican church i attended but I was lacking in great sermons and that uplifting spirit. He on the other hand was born in a catholic home but his parent didnt make it mandatory for them to attend the catholic church. He loves the catholic church but sometimes follows his sister to her redeem church.
So when we met, and things started gettin serious he brought up the topic as a matter of fact. I am glad he isnt rigid 'allelluia'.

However, we go to my chapel(anglican) once in a while and he goes to the catholic church when we arent going to church together. But we go to church together most times. Feels good to pinch him once in a while when a good sermon is on cheesy.
Lol...need i say that his family weren't really into the catholic (devoted)church since his siblings attend other churches

@bolded, that is the essence, there's nothing lie couples doing things together in unison, cant just imagine married couples attending different churches/denominations, where then is the togetherness and oneness that marriages seeks to project?

Glad thou you have a partner who isnt 'rigid'...Hurray! cheesy

Trouble. Starts in a marriage when the wife begins to ask "WHAT IF" on matters regarding the authority of the husband.

You can't always have it your way, always having it your way will lead you six feets below sooner than predestined. The wife is a helpMEET and not a slave who absorb all order, furthermore; the head is useless and cannot function without the neck.

@Op, you guys should have discussed that before walking down the aisle as it is one of the most important issues, however; it is never too late, you guys should have a heart to heart discussion.

If I cannot leave my church for yours and you yours for mine, then we sure going to a new parish/church...great deal

But seriously, i find it hard leaving a church i am used to wink

Indeed ignorance is bliss as the ignorant remains unaware.

I have become matured and I'm not talking about my usual bf and gf. Actually I am talking about hubby and wifey.

And for one in a mixed marriage, I repeat it is only in African that the 'woman no get church' notion exists and thrives.

But thankfully there are always exceptions to the rule.

And the two becoming one has absolutely nothing to do with personalities... they are one, yet they are individuals and will remain so. And dignity is personal.

I hope this makes sense to you.
You are African right? and why would you want to copy and behave like the whites in virtually everything?

Of course there are exceptions to the rule. In life nothing is absolute, everything is relative.

Yes dignity is personal, but losing your dignity, personality or who you are has nothing to do with your decision to follow your hubby/spouse to his church. I suggest you employ a more liberal approach to issue like this when it comes up in your life rather than this stiff approach of yours...you will need it. Just an advice

Peace!

Sure tell that to those philandering and violent husbands. kiss

Marriage is about togetherness/oneness, having a contrary opinion is a sure way of destroying a home.

Destroying a marriage is a gradual thing just the way a student fails gradually right from the 1st day in school.

Honestly, to have a successful marriage, you need the right mindset.

The major reason for failed marriages is when a particular partner still thinks and acts like he/she is still single.

Reading through all I can see his faith this,his faith that?

Please define his faith or rather explain what you mean by his faith?

People tend to forget that during judgement you stand alone and solely bear the punishment/reward for every decision,action,words or deed you carry out when it was premeditated or not. An individual should do what is good for him/herself as long as it does not harm the other in the process.

A persons belief or conviction should NEVER be based on man-made rules or just because it is what is expected of you. If both parties are spiritually alert then they would know better than to allow minor and earthly things like church deter them from having a peaceful home.

A man(male and female) is not an animal that has to agree to every whim and decision it spouse take,which is why they have brains and the free-will to decide and come to an agreement.

So far nobody has given a concrete reason why a lady must go to the husband's church. From what I read people do it cause that's the MO or to give the impression of being submisive(which you and I know is beyond going to a spouse place of worship).

I know of a couple here on NL who both go to different place of worships and they have a beautiful marriage and family. So the argument that it would break the home if couples go to different place of worship does not hold water.

Ma, you surprised me with your assertion. You mean a family where husband and wife attend different places of worship is a beautiful one? This shocked me. If I may ask where is onenesss and togetherness preached about marriage? The scripture says 'therefore a man shall leave her parents and cling to his wife; they are no longer two but one'. Jesus says ' A house divided against itself cannot stand'. So to you, there is no division when a husband and wife wake one Sunday morning, enter different cars and face different directions to different places of worship? In that case who shall the children follow and as children grow up and start asking questions, how do the parents explain the dichotomy? To you, do you think such children can really be convinced about any of the parents' faith or any faith for that matter? No wonder many children of nowadays believe nothing. How can they when they are raised in this type of home?
It won't stop baffling how warp the concept of marriage has been turned in our modern world. However, in my own convinced opinion, marriage entails couples building a united family where things are done in togetherness. There can never be a family in disunity and you can't convince me otherwise. I refuse to buy your logic. Go back into your scripture and find out how God intends family to look like. Finally I don't see anything beautiful about the family you illustrated, if things look beautiful now check them out in years to come. I assure you will see bigger cracks showing up beyond that of faith. Devil, the master of tricks and deception is a long-term planner. He makes even wrong and pernicious things look good and beautiful on short term. Thanks

Bibol:


The wife should have counted the cost before getting married. At least they must have talked about it. The woman is expected to join her husband in his local church. But if she feels uncomfortable worshipping in her new church, she can dialogue with her husband. If he sees reasons with her, fine but if otherwise , she has no alternative than to keep following her husband. Compromise and understanding is needed in times like this
but if u re woman what ll u do?

Ephesians 5:22 -24 New International Version (NIV)

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

lezz:
the man is the spiritual head of the home as well. Just like Christ is the head of the church and Christ is under God Almighty, the father, so is the wife under the man physically and spiritually.



This question shouldn't arise if the woman is a real believer. For her husband has more spiritual authority over her than her pastor, bishop or reverend.
Fact.

what has love got to do with faith? we may both believe in Christ and practice our faith differently, if you care about your wife as you claimed to b, then it's not right for you to lured your way of practicing your faith on her, you can't use Ruth case in this scenario, because nobody force their faith on her she willing fully decided to practice their faith and believe in their God on her own accord. Am a christian and am glad to b one, there are some churches that no matter how i love the person i cnt go to those churches with you. their way of practicing is just responsive to my faith .
u c my broda, for dz kind of scenerio, Ruth case cant be left out, if a woman marries a man, she has married everytin abt d man. Ruth case is a perfect example 4 dz type of scenerio. moment she marries, she bears d name of her husband. And Remember Our Lord Jesus Christ, He Keeps Telling Us That Has He(Jesus) Is Head Of D Church So A Man The Head Of D Family.

Can two work together except they agree? I think this is something that should be decided by the couple before marriage. If nobody can compromise then it is better they don't go ahead with the union. I've seen a marriage between christian and a muslim. The children attend both church and mosque, celebrate sallah and xmas and bear both muslim and christian names.
......what a huge spiritual identity crisis for the kids. Not right for the kids.

if she truly loves her husband she must attend the church her hubby attends. she must love her husband with everything i mean everything 4 beta 4 worse, u knw and read the case of Ruth In The Bible. Remember What She Said To Naomi. YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, YOUR WAY SHALL BE MY WAY, WHEREEVER YOU GO I GO etc.
You are very correct.However, this does not mean that the man is always right but you must submit. What you can do is to pray about it so that God can make him see reasons why you need to change the church if it is a bad church. But if your feeling is bad without any genuine reason, follow your husband to wherever he goes. I have a man in the baptist church I pastor whose wife attends a Deeper Life Church close to us. This woman is rebellious and she is deceiving herself. The first time she visited d church, she condemned all the choirs mode of dressing.I uphold holiness and modest christian dressing as a pastor but this woman does not see any dressing godly except the style of her church. What you should look for in a church is what they stand for.If they preach and practise the whole counsel of God, follow. It is not everything you see in a church which is bad that is approved by the Pastor. So follow your husband.If you have genuine reason, prayerfully and humbly talk him into it.Your marriage before your church. The order is this: God first, marriage, church.
