Can you really meet a good life long partner in church?

Question

jennifer_bloom · Accepted Answer

I believe you can meet amazing friends in church but it's not good for a romantic relationship cause there is so much publicity and everybody knows everything about everyone in their church group. There is also a lot of virtue signalling in church where people pretend to be better then they are morally or intellectually to attract men and woman so your chances of meeting fakes is much higher then it would be at another place like school or volunteer or social clubs etc... Over 95% of the church people I know met their boyfriends and girlfriends outside the house of prayer.

I don't know. I tried dating church dudes throughout high school and well they cheat and hoe around just as much so the only thing i like about church boys is that they believe in God. Other than that, they ain't much different. My dad and his whole side of the fam are preachers yet my dad got baby mamas (before becoming one) and his dad cheated on my grandma and had a kid on the side (probably while a preacher) 🤷‍♀️ I don't know why my grandma stayed with him. Plus he shorter than her lmao. I think im taller than him and I’m 5’2 🤣

I wouldn't really put church as meeting your future wife/husband. I found you can meet friends in church that can make you feel like you belong with to a family. I meet girls in my church during my 20's though they were just friends nothing more and they later married or stayed single. Though I do have a few friends at church who do get lucky and met their future wife/husband through church so I am happy for them that they got to meet someone. Though there's probably a 50% chance in finding a partner.

razelove · Accepted Answer

Yes, and his name is Jesus!

Rosexøxø · Answer

Yeah. The chances increase. As long as they’re pretty darn serious on their religiousness/ spirituality.

Open heart, and devoted kind to the fundamentals and the fruition of the faith. (I’m just trying some alliteration for fun lol).

Anyways, most SHOULD naturally have good morals or good lives leading and leaning towards having good morals. Those already make up 50% of a good life partner.

Avicenna · Answer

Yes, and it would eliminate a potential dealbreaker for some people since presumably you'd see eye to eye on religion.

EricSummer · Answer

Yes, I think you can. It's a good thing if the two people share the same religion. Christianity and Islam put a lot of focus on life-long partnership which also helps a couple that wants to embark on this quest.

The elders of a religious community can even serve as match-makers who know something about the souls of their young community members.

In fact, as an atheist this is the thing I most envied religious people for as a teenager. They may not find "God", but they may certainly find each other in the process.

Adaeva · Answer

Of course you can. First, you are more likely to meet someone with similar beliefs. Second, you are both more likely to believe in marriage and will put forth the effort to make your marriage work. Third, you associate with people that also believe in marriage and instead of telling you to get a divorce over every minor problem, they will encourage you and your spouse to attempt to overcome the problem and work it out. Most problems are short-term anyway and when you both try, you get past the problem and soon things are good again.

kaylaS91 · Answer

yes, of course. I don't see why not?

It's not like church-goers are all that different than someone you'd meet in a mosque, synagogue, temple, or mall in the case of atheists/agnostics. Those who take their faith to the extreme level make up a tiny part of church goers.

Wade12345 · Answer

Not likely. Too much pastor-worship and false doctrine in church.

People who go to church don't worship God, they worship money. even their god-man jesus told them "you cannot worship God and mammon"

it's a sad state of affairs. One time when i was around 22 years old, I got this idea to go to church to try to meet a woman, it flat out didn't work out. I spent years trying too, and discovered the women at church were worse than devils

LazerBean · Answer

It's certainly possible, but very dependant on the person and the church.

AsaKyo · Answer

A lot of religious people are crazy and I try to stay as far away from them as possible, so for me? No, I highly doubt it.

Now for someone else? Yeah sure, because their views might strongly align with the religious church person's views.

I am in no way trying to say all religious people are insane, but the vast majority tend to be and it makes me feel not comfortable around them, no offense. 💀

Unit1 · Answer

Doubt it.
Imagine no sex until marriage and then only when it's about popping more kids.
And be expecting almost exclusively dialogs about religion and god, which is even more boring than death. Rather than dialogs about making some more passive revenue with cryptocurrencies and an AI bot doing the trading for you.

Eelif · Answer

Actually, I'm not a Christian, but I went to church regularly for about 2 years to do research. I was exposed to Armenian racism. I never thought it would be like this. I was able to establish close relationships with only a few French women. We are still talking to them. The answer to this question depends on the character of the people you meet.

Anonymous · Answer

Place doesn't matter. You can find a good person anywhere. In the church you can find a religious person and a thief. Who may have come with the intention of stealing the something or may have come to seek forgiveness for their sins. Anyone can be found anywhere. Don't give a chance to someone thinking that it is found in the church, then it will be a good journey. Check it out.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Yes, it's possible. I personally think Christian women that love the Lord Jesus Christ with all their heart are the best women available.

Now, just because someone goes to church (many churches are bad) means nothing, but rather the fruits they produce as a lifestyle.

Reorx · Answer

I go every Sunday, They are all people older than me & only around 8 go on average. I never met anyone in church in a romantic sense but that's not the reason I go anyway.

I've been making more effort to go to socials recently so who knows. I'm in no rush, I'll continue becomming the best version of myself.

Meeting a life long partner would be great but I have circumstances preventing me from committing to a wife fully anyway which causes me to hesitate.

aoihewgf · Answer

Depends if theyve been active their whole life and you meet them young as in 18 -20, as opposed to meeting the ones who find god at 30 or 40

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

DON'T DO IT!!! When I was in the military, pretty much every dude I knew that met a chick that way just ended up getting cheated on.

Don't ask me why, I figured they'd be less likely because of the religious stuff, but NOPE!

annabananna · Answer

I know someone that did and they seem to be very happy.

vcordero123 · Answer

I think that you can. Bc if you attend the same church, it’s likely that y’all have the same religion and values. But I think that it’s the same as anywhere else in that there’s guys who might not be serious or mature enough for a relationship, so you still have to take the time to get to know them and their intentions

ManOnFire · Answer

Wouldn't work for me. I  am  a Christian and read the Bible, but I don't go to church and don't feel good about church people.

lightbulb27 · Answer

yes or you can end up broke up or divoriced as the rate of failure is as high as everywhere else.

molonski2 · Answer

Don't know , never been to one ( except for weddings and funerals ) its not such a big thing , I guess wherever many people are its possible.

Googlemyahoo · Answer

Many religious people arrange marriages with cousins so yes you can although personal choice isn’t a factor. Hopefully you don’t have cyclops babies from the incest

legalboxers · Answer

No. You are there to worship our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ. The True Deliverer of the Gospel. He is the Disciples are there only to spread the word of Jesus who will deliver you to the promise land!

Elliegirl · Answer

Sure. I have several friends who met their spouse at church.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

You can meet a good life long partner anywhere & it can happen when you least expect as well.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

Yes. In church, in synagogue, in masjid, or in other temple there might be a good ideal partner, although I met several of my partners in the loony bin and only platonic comrades in temples.

slatyb · Answer

It happens. People meet in a church, in a bar, in a store, anywhere people go.

mobiusforniner · Answer

Comsidering we are going 10 years and its been a third of my life with her, id say yeah.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

I feel that church has a different vibe here. But maybe in a smaller, weirder church, you'll find the weirdo you seek.

AnusNdaPainus · Answer

Nope Christians are some of the most disgusting vile sexually repressed perverts I’ve ever encountered

exitseven · Answer

Probably a better chance of meeting one than going to a bar or nightclub.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Probably not. They're all full of themselves and they just use religion as a mask.

John_Doesnt · Answer

Yes, I found Jesus and he filled me with the holy spirit in the parking lot of Arby's.

Steelcore5280 · Answer

I'd like to think that you could, but I cannot speak from experience, myself.

Manuel2 · Answer

It depends what church you meet them. Save belief and same church is easier in one way and more stressful in another

shades777 · Answer

I've had one girlfriend from church, so it's possible but you got to be a good catch, there's some good looking church girls, just have to shop around

Well the quality will be higher that's for certain. But the pool will be smaller. I'd call it a wash.

If you're both super religious, it can be a goid match
