Yes. They also have to be inlove with Christ.

Yeah, I think that’s important.

The scriptures tell us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25)
A threefold cord is not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12)
For where two or three are gathered together in His name, there He is in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)
Everyone wants God to bless their marriage but won’t bless God by going where He is.

I believe the scripture tells us to gently restore our brothers and sisters in Christ who may have been on the right path but strayed away from the truth. The holy Word also, tells us to not be unequally yoked with non believers. Having said that, was the person who was going to church gaining a desire for someone not in Christ? Philippians 4:8 can act as a filter for this situation.

No, I Don’t think it’s nessecary for anyone to be church gowers.
Yes, you should not forsake the assembly of the saints Hebrew 10:25, but I don’t believe that it makes going to a church building a requirement. It is viral that Christians commune with each other, but at the same time it’s not a sin not to attend.
It is valuable to attend a church because it helps to equip you for ministry Ephesians 4:11. I do believe that it is more important for a man to go to church than a woman because men are supposed to be the Leaders in the Faith.

No.. as long as they’re both believe in jesus by heart ..faith is more important…

This is a topic very close to the heart. I agree that faith is more important.

My grandfather (82) grandmother (83) were very strong in their faith. They were more occasional church goers – mosly for events.

Sadly, they passed away last year only months apart, but lived a liftime together of 60 years. My gradfather was also at one point studying to be preacher. Although his orginal dream was not realized, one of their 5 children, my uncle, became a preacher.

Their faith made God a clear presence in our family. Their tree bared great fruit. As the bible state, it’s important not to lean into your own understanding. So when I can, I like to go. However, I also think technology makes things easier for when you can not attend in person.

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? If your partner is not a believer, how will he understand your involvement? Perhaps he will want to spend all weekends in a country house and he will not like your desire to go to church on Sunday. And if your faith is very important to you, you will spend more than one day in church. One evening for choral practices, another for evangelism or Bible studies, in addition to your Sunday morning assembly. If your partner does not share your faith, your involvement will be the subject of great disputes in your couple.
