MTKbudapest:
this is my first time of hearing something like this.

I think churches that wants a man to tell (propose to) them first before proposing to the lady are in error. Are they the one getting married to the lady?
You call them my papa, my daddy, my father some even go to the extend of calling them my spiritual father.
The bible say call no one ur father for one is ur father in heaven which is God. Run from such church for hell awaits u.
Take it or leave it

And Elisha saw it , and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them ? shall I smite them ?

Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.


Mr. Next remember you bible before commenting and IF you tell me its Old testament I will....

I don't see any big deal in informing your Pastor about your intention before taking the step of telling her. it put you on the saver side, unless you have any shady thing to hide. if not, the pastor can take you through what you need to know about her in case thats the church of the sister too and if not, the pastor knows how best to reach the necessary personnels to make sure your pre-marriage dealings go smoothly.

Dear Landers, is it morally right first to inform your pastor as regards your intention to marry a sister in the church before you approach the lady for marriage, am saying this because Most churches see it as offensive, I want sample opinion nairalanders

I do not agree with MOST as you described.
Believers should know the difference and when to draw the line between tradition and doctrine.

There is no moral, ethical, spiritual or Scriptural wrong in that, except of course, we want to dwell on men's opinion.

BTW, I'll like to contact you privately.

You mean?

Sir, can you defend your postulations with Scriptures?

Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

I don't know what you understand the will of God to be but it is not what you wrote up there sir, that should be an opinion statement/guess.

and no big deal too in not informing him.

If you want to tell her first, tell her. You have done no wrong. You'll live with your spouse, no one else will!
If you feel like telling your Pastor first, do so, especially when you know you cannot manage some matters yourself.

(You see sometimes, 3rd party involvement at the stage of proposing/asking out may spark some issues like dissuasion, delay, etc)

There are no strict rules guiding this, do whatever you're convenient with and let no one judge you.

But SIN NOT, Flee from Immorality!

Nice One, I don't know if it's biblical, because they will tel you that you must follow biblical standards. It's like this, the pastor will confront the sister with a mask identify of the brother and see if God has reveal the name of the brother to the sister


Brother, all this thing na formality, its just so that sexual immorality will b minimized and so as not to get d pastor and ministers unawares when u both are set to wed.
Your pastor getting involved doesn't guarantee the success of the marriage. The 3rd person in matrimonial relationships should b God alone.

I can tell the Pastor provided his own marriage is successful just to know his tricks for such a success. If he/she (Pastor) is a divorcee I will keep my plans to myself.

All this "I need my Pastor's validation before I propose a woman" is bullcrap. And I see that only people with insecurity issues are usually fond of involving their pastors in things that can practically be solved with common sense

Some will even tell you according to their doctrine, your pastor is responsible for wooing a lady on your behalf. Soro niyen? undecided

Baba Adeboye said, shine your eyes when picking a wife and never let any pastor recommend a wife for you. He said the highest a pastor can do is to counsel you. Finish!!!

You are all mad and annoying. You people have turn man of God to God themselves. I feel like slapping you all

OP, Though nice question but I will suggest u follow your BELIEF. I worship with Deeper Life and I am married. The essence of informing your pastors or leaders is for guidance. You may finds it very absurd and obsolete telling someone u want to marry a lady. But let me tell u, the pastor is just a third party whose duty is to guide. The Marriage committee are meant to put you through marital doctrine and germain issues in marriage once the two of you have been certified fit to marry each other.
I never regret ever getting married in Deeper Life and I wish you all the best.
