Move church to worship together? 🤔

Early dating & courtship: Wise to do, not a necessity; moving gives both a chance to observe the other party while inside church community because a relationship is inclusive-not just through mentors but in the church setting itself. Decide where to go, it’s not a permanent move yet; it’s checking for dynamics. Seen it work with my Christian friends as I was inspired by their love stories. Marriage: Mom & children will follow the dad. It helps solidify family bond & any ministry with unity.

Continue at your respective churches because you are in the early stages and not sure of whether or not you reach other’s person yet. One can visit each others respective congregations. Should the relationship deepen and the couple is moving towards marriage then that’s when a decision about where you will both worship and serve together is made.

In the early stages of dating, there is a danger of being spiritually intimate before the relationship is worthy of such a level of intimacy. I think it is wise to continue in your own churches, but see what common events or socialising that you could do so that you meet their church friends etc. As Christians we can be aware of guarding against physical intimacy, but guilty of premature spiritual intimacy. This can make it difficult to make objective decisions as the relationship progresses

Not moving church during dating, but no reason why you can't visit each other's church. I have known a couple of people who attend different churches once married. However I would prefer to attend the same church as my husband and I think that's wise, for spiritual growth together, but also to avoid/protect each other against any false teaching potentially (a sad point,but true in many places)

For me it depends on whether the church follows the biblical doctrine. As long as they do, I would not mind sharing in worship in either church. If they don't, I will typically not continue dating as for me following Christ is paramount. I believe there is unfortunately no church without its shortcomings as it is after all run by men and women who are human and so in need of grace. But some churches come real close and their pastors are unashamedly faithful to the biblical doctrine and I listen!

Being able to worship and serve the Lord together in a relationship is something that's important to me, so I would definitely visit their church a few times and invite them to mine. I think I'd find it hard to give up my church as it's really good and exactly where God needs me right now. I guess if God called me to move, then I would (I'd probably need a lot of confirmation, though! 😂)

I think my biggest question would be what factors and motivations and reasons are driving the decision to attend different churches? If there can’t be agreement on the kinds of things that are found in churches… theology, questions of authority, values, and life structure or priorities… Then can there be agreement in a home life?

Personally I don't think it's a good idea. Nice to visit each other's but not change churches, not until there is a commitment or married.

Dating and married I don't feel the need to attend the same church as my wife. It's okay to have your own things going on IMO
