Attending church together has significant benefits, including cultivating a deeper connection. Going to church together will help you feel a deeper, more intimate connection with your spouse because you are doing something together. Sadly, few couples spend time together throughout the week because of job restraints. However, this is something that needs to change if we are going to truly build up our marriages in the Lord. If you and your spouse are not currently attending church together, try to start.
It might be hard to commit to one church, but try to remember the benefits. You can deepen your marriage and truly get to know your spouse better. Attending church together will allow you to talk about the sermon, what God told you through the Bible verses, and how you felt during worship. Married couples do not need to overlook this benefit because it can truly help your marriage and bring you closer together.
If a married couple continues to attend different churches, this deep connection will not exist. Rather than being involved in each other’s lives, it could be that Sundays are a day we won’t ever see our spouse. They will be at church, involved with another community of believers, and start developing deep connections with the people at this particular church. As a married couple, you and your spouse need to go to church together, build relationships with other believers together, and strive to worship God with one heart.
