100 reasons you should not date or marry someone in the same church with you

100 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DATE OR MARRY SOMEONE IN THE SAME CHURCH WITH YOU

My mentor is one man I know that is so passionate about people meeting their future wife or husband in the same church. You need to see his smiles in such weddings, it is heavenly. But today, let me say it as it is, I have witnessed many of those marriages and relationships. Some ended sour and rotten, few, blissful, couples leave the church after marriage and even stop seeking God.

To avoid the avoidable, below are 100 reasons why you should never date or marry someone in the same church with you:

1: He/she is not always good looking the remaining days of the week: Everything on Sundays, from the well fitted suit, shining shoes, ties, make up and perfumes are all packaging. Sundays are the only days when some guys really brush their teeth and scrub under their armpits. You definitely do not want to live with a pig for the rest of your life.

2: Angels only on Sundays, demons on Mondays:

You can slap some people on Sunday and they will turn their other cheek as often as you want but try it on Monday or any other day of the week and you will go to your grave instantly. So basically, they only live the Bible on Sundays.

3:Anti-Christ and anti-church progress:

Well…they never even love your growth in Christ not to talk about Jesus that saves you. They hate the progress of your church, the payment of tithes and offering, the population and even your pastor’s teaching. They are there to cause confusion and commotion in the church and one way they can do that is by dating you or marrying you.  So do not marry or date them

4: Your relationship or marriage will be always be the talk of the church:

Suddenly! you and your partner will become celebrities. You will never have peace. People will always keep asking you crayfish questions “So Brother Joseph, was it her style of speaking in tongues that attracted you to her?”, “How is it like kissing a church member?” All those busybodies in church will keep following up on you both and if anything mistaken goes wrong, the whole church will know.

5: Some people are just in church because they are looking for life partners:

They have heard that “if you want him either short or tall, fair or dark, potbelly or 6 packs, handsome or just there, rich or okay, church is the place to go”. Once you are married to such people or start dating them, they will use ice block to just quench your fire. They will stop you from going to church or force you to change church.

6: You will be disappointed:
The sister that always preach on holiness is far from been holy. You will be shocked! She can even seduce you and force you into having sex with her. The brother that is so welcoming with his smile reaching his ears have no control over his anger. This is one major reasons why church marriages do not last. If you marry from your workplace, you can manage or deal with this drama. But from church, it’s a “Oh no!”

7: If you dare double date or cheat, you will be roasted:

In other words, your focus will have to be single. Even if you have to break up, your reasons must be solid. Why? Because everybody in church will know and come find out why, even your pastor will come.

8: Distance from the opposite sex:

If you try to date or marry someone in the same church with you, then get ready to be at arm’s length with the opposite sex including all those girls you did choreography with when you’re a child. It is not that they are not happy for you, they are just respecting you.  They won’t even bother inviting you for hangouts, beach parties and friendship asun anymore.

9. Overload:

It is going to be overload for you. Perhaps, you (a guy), your babe that is an usher comes late, the head of department will come and complain to you. Those bad belle in church will come and be reporting all sorts for you to sort. It is just overload really. It can get you frustrated and you will refuse to do again.

10: PDA is forbidden in church among members:

Immediately you hug her in church, even if it is after service, someone will just develop whopping cough. You cannot sneak to takeaway or snug anywhere in church. “Go home!!!” they will say.

0: Your relationship or marriage cannot and must not have problems:

Get ready for packaging all your sorrows.

0: Over-spirituality:

Almost all the singles are over spiritual. They are even spiritual more than the pastor that is married. Toasting them is like putting a stain on their garment. They will think you so carnal if you wink. Please go outside your church but inside church and look for a sincere spiritual soul.

Well…it is a 10 and 0’s reasons why you should never date or marry someone you are in the same church with.

And if you ever do, I wish you all the very best!!!
