For those of you who don't attend church regularly, what would you do if your partner all of a sudden decided to accept Christ? Would you start attending church too? Do you think it would ruin the relationship?

I have seen it work for some, but others, it breaks up a relationship. One partner wants to be a preacher, or Deacon, and the other just want something to belong too!!. For me, we would have to have a long discussion, because, while I don't go to church. I still believe in GAWD. For some people thats not good enough, and thats the tension, that breaks-up the relationship!! even if it was a good relationship!!. I have met women who I like to call, middle of the road, believers. They are people who go, But still raise hell...... a little. They understand the human condition. And while they do go to church, they do everything else, drink, smoke sex, you name it. I prefer a women with spirit!!!(who lives) not a preacher, as I mentioned in other post!!. I have dated women who go to Church, and I didn't!!!!!!!!But after a while, they all tried to change you, even if you are not ready, or looking to be changed by them!!!!!!. I will clarify, what I mean. If Gawd sends me a message, it's time to come home. Be it my friend , a women, a family member, or MIRACLE. He and only he, can make me come back, not a women, not death,(so far) nothing. I have seen some good things come about, because people are willing to change!! for what they believe, is for the better!!. But most of the time, and I do mean most of the time!!!. It seems from my point of view!!!! That it's not a spirit building process, but mind control, that I believe was put into religion(Christianity especially) to control us!!!(black folks). I believe if I'm truly a free will, being, then I also have a choice on how I will accept, him in my life. The word of GAWD has never bothered me. BUT HIS MESSENGERS, really piss me OFF. I have seen brilliant women, go stupid, get used, then try to use people in the name of GAWD. I have seen emotionally challenge people, thrown away, because they are TOO VIOLET, AND CAN'T MAKE MONEY FOR THE CHURCH!!. **There are state run programs for the mentally ILL, and or handicap as well as prison programs in each state. That are run, under assumed names, so if something happen, bad, it would take time to get back to that church.**** Black churches who claim the neighborhood, but live MILES AWAY, yet they are our church!!. I have a lot of problems with the BLACK CHURCH PERIOD!!!, it separates family's, then create new ones. With church leaders, in charge of them. I have seen whole lot that I do not want get into. BUT MOST BLACK MEN DESPISE, because they only use us, then dumps us on somebody Else's porch!! LIKE THERE SLAVE MASTERS TAUGHT THEM, THATS ONE REASON SO MANY BLACK WOMEN ARE IN, CHURCHES, AND BLACK MEN SEEM TO BE EXCLUDED, UNLESS THEY ARE RICH, OR ELDERS OF THE CHURCH. So to answer your question, we would have to talk, and if thats the end of us, then it is, because I DO believe, when GAWD calls, you should at least answer the DOOR!!!!! and if you are Christan, Muslim, Jew or whatever, you Should at least try to date within your FAITH, first. this way the rest of us can breathe easier!! ;D

She can worship in whatever way she wants to. I don't put any constraints on anyone's spiritual growth and development.
But, I expect the same courtesy in return.
