When couples get married, who follows who where??
Does the woman have to attend the husband's church?? Can it ever be the other way round?

The norm is the woman following her husband, but what if you love a man but you're not okay with his denomination??

If you chose to marry a man, you have accepted him in his entirety. You can't love him and hate his name or any other thing you chose to hate.

Ideally the wife is expected to follow the husband to his church and not the other way around, just as the wife moves into the husband's house and adopts his family name. The exception to this norm is if the husband wasn't committed to any church in particular, and the wife is a full committed member of her own church. The husband must agree freely to adopt the wife's church as his own church, and this must be discussed before the marriage.

Shouldn't this be agreed on before marriage?

If the wife can convince the husband to move to her church or they go to separate churches, fine but if he insist, then she has to follow him. No be she marry am?

The wife should have counted the cost before getting married. At least they must have talked about it. The woman is expected to her husband in his local church. But if she feels uncomfortable worshipping in her new church, she can dialogue with her husband. If he sees reasons with her, fine but if otherwise , she has no alternative than to keep following her husband. Compromise and understanding is needed in times like this

Then don't marry him. Especially if the man has indicated that his wife must him to his church. Donot ever think he will "come around" and let you attend your church or you there. Make sure this is sorted before you sign the dotted lines.

There must be a church that overhead the couple's wedding in the first place right?... So I think they should both attend that church. It's no big deal. cool

If you don't like your prospective husband's church and he shares same feeling about yours, then get amalgamated in a court of law. Simple!!! After the BINDING, then maybe you two will reason together
