Re: Supporting Husband needs

I would tell your husband exactly why you don’t like going to this church ....tell him everything leaving nothing out ... get it off your chest ... once he knows then it’s his decision to keep going by himself or find another church that you both will enjoy.

Re: Supporting Husband needs

No one can give you any intelligent advise or ideas since you chose not to share your reasons why you do not care for the church.  (Advise hinders on if you dont like a particular person or someones hairdo, or you dont like the message the preacher teaches.)

 

Have you shared with hubby why you do not want to keep attending that particular church?  If not I would suggest that you do and maybe he would be more open to changing, or you could work something else out together.

Re: Supporting Husband needs

It sounds as if something about this church is making you feel uncomfortable, therefore it is time to move on and find another church to meet your spiritual needs. If you explain why you feel the way you do, I would hope that your husband would be understanding and join you in seeking out a new church. I wish you well.

Re: Supporting Husband needs

Church is extremely important to me and my husband, and luckily for us we have a church that we love and would never want to be without. However, I know that I could never attend a church regularly that I was uncomfortable in.

 

I would talk to your husband, be honest, be open about it, and hopefully you both can venture out and find a church where you both will be happy and love to attend........

 

If not, and your husband wants to stay at that church, then you should venture out on your own and find your chuch!

Re: Supporting Husband needs

I was wondering if you come from different faiths or different denominations? I have seen that cause a few troubles.

Re: Supporting Husband needs

I don't think that you need to explain your reason(s) to us. It's clear that something is just not right, at least for you.

There you go right there.

 

This church is not giving you what you need from a church and all that it entails.  That's reason enough.  However, it might do so for your husband.  

 

Probably something you two need to discuss.  Perhaps you both could find a compromise.

@luvGodUSA   I went through a little bit of what you are talking about.  We both pretty much like non denominational churches now but it was not that way at  first.  Maybe you will each need to have your own if there can't be some kind of agreement.  My MIL and FIL did that.   DH's dad took the boys to one church and his mom took their daughter to another. That might not work for everyone but it did for them.

Re: Supporting Husband needs

There is obviously a reason why you do not feel comfortable attending this church.....that is enough for me.

I would not continue to attend but that's just me. 

Maybe the 2 of you can find a church that makes you both feel comfortable and at peace.
