first I'll share this, a couple of people have used this ploy to get me to attend church. I am not ready nor do I want marriage ...at this time anyway.

What I currently "think" I want is all the nuances of a relationship without the bindings of the religious description of a good relationship.
That meaning being "marriage minded ".

would you ever suggest for someone to attend church to find a "good woman/man"?

Probably not - not that there's anything wrong with that.

I was in a relationship with an avid churchgoer, and in fact, enjoyed attending with her. But what I found, in her, and with so many folks around here, was the notion that if one attended church it made them a good person, regardless of how they conducted their lives or treated others. Hypocrisy reigned supreme.

No I wouldn't suggest that. That would have to be there decision only.

Who'd have thought that Christian God-fearing people would've have resorted to such underhand tactics...??

Whilst I won't get into a debate about religion, I have to agree with Rwantin, from my experiences and observations.

Whatever you decide, and whatever you believe, however.... I do think you should attend Church for the appropriate reasons and that, in my mind, doesn't involve the seeking of a relationship.

Good thread though, my friend!! cheers

Indeed, nothing feels much better than meeting a person over the frozen peas.

I changed churches after I bought my house....I was attending with my parents & dated the one & only single man of dateable age in the church...after 4 months we broke up....so that was another reason to change churches.

Now, I don't go as often, and I'm in a larger church....more single men, but it's not really the best atmosphere to meet someone and I'm not even sure they have any activities for singles to be able to meet at.

But my mom has used the words....You need to find someone at church....and then I remind her of my ex husband (who I met at church) and the last boyfriend....and then I rest my case....lol
