Fellow Nairalanders, I am not attending a white garment church or the likes but a decent pentecostal church that believes in the teaching of the bible, but my girl wants me to change it in order to sustain our relationship.

Although I love her, I'm not comfortable with any other church doctrines (especially orthodox that she falls in), I love my church doctrines too.

So please advice,what should I do?

it means both are not compatible and the lady is not even attracted to him.just giving conditions
and by the time she is through with condition level.she is pregnant for the guy she is attracted to irrespective of church,color or size of his pocket.
I totally disagree with you.. When did asking for a change of church become a yardstick to measure Compatibility?

Like I said, he should communicate with her and know her reason(s).. If they are cogent, you can then draw your conclusions..

what is compatibility?
this is just boyfriend and girlfriend level and the first statement from the girl is "be a member of my own church"
the question arises"to achieve what purpose"
simple"compatibility"
that is to say,she has not seen him attractive enough as a choice, not even considered marriage ra ra!
Now as a girlfriend she can pick the holes in the guy(at first glance).feminine attitude has not come!
what about intimacy,how will they tackle that!
and while they will be trying to find compatibility ground.the moment she sights the guy she is attracted to,she will move!

I am having same issue. She wants me to change from Anglican to a Penticostal church. I have given her several opportunities to xplain why should change but none is forth coming. Mind u, she was once an Anglican like me.
leave her jaree. girls are easily manipulated. so she has forgot where she came. she go say she dey see vision now. and her prayer dey jinger. very myopic reasoning.
Re: ADVICE: My Girlfriend Wants Me To Change My Church by Kingsasian(m): 1:07pm On Mar 08, 2015
Its simple. If u truly luv her and wants to end up as man and wife u can change but after the wedding she must change.

Compatibility is the act of existing or doing something together without conflict..

As humans, conflicts/problems will occur, and that's because none is perfect.. This is where COMMUNICATION comes to play..

Why is no one advising him to communicate with her, and know her reasons, be it a foolish one or not but rather, he should just leave?

Done with the topic.. @OP, whatever rocks your boat!!! You know your girly better than we do..

She agreed to date you for who you are, if she's no longer comfy with that I think she should walk.

oh no no!lady you ain't going off to hook that easy!
you already can see the issue straight on!
there is a big issue where the stage of communication between a boyfriend and girlfriend is a one way direction of "attend my church"
not love communication, or attraction,goals,marriage etc.that is serious

Women can't change men's churches...women av no say in religion matters when it comes to marriage....yadiyadiyadi

@op,relationship is about compromise nd sacrifice by BOTH partners...it's ur life,ur belief,ur future nd ur RELATIONSHIP...only uno d depth of ur love for her...only uno if u will b comfortable changing churches...only u CAN decide wat u want...

If u re willing to change barring all masculine"ish" ego, go for it...but if u aren't willing to...den patiently nd maturely explain to her y u feel ur church will be an ideal place for U PPL to start ur life in...

PS-we all serve the same GOD only in different ways...

PPS-understanding and the ability to reach a descision without trampling on the other persons feelings is the bedrock of any marriage/relationship/friendship...

#udo
If u know it won't work in d beginning don start. U know dis person can't change church for u,u still continued, so no blame anybody

For just a date?

Reject that kind of #change IJN, instead work on the #transformation of your mind and look towards developing your spiritual state and planning for marriage

Re: ADVICE: My Girlfriend Wants Me To Change My Church by smartigo: 1:57pm On Mar 08, 2015
pat4hot, your girl said you should leave ur church and you are asking us what to do?
Listen, can't you convince her why you r a member?
Why does she want you to change n how does it affect her love for u?
Are u sure you both will marry?
What else will she ask you to change?
Can you also ask her to change?

Ponder on these n decide if you want to be Esau or Jacob. Believe me,if u r my bro and u ask me without painting it or telling me ur stance, I will slap the love away from ur eyes.

Is she Catholic?
Even if she's Catholic, she would start considering churches only in marriage.

By the way, so if we, Nairalanders, tell you to change your church now, you change? undecided
