I used to go to church 5 days a week, and I enjoyed it immensely. When I had to move from that town, there wasn't a church that offered the same.
I recommend that you go with him, if you are concerned about "together" time. It'd probably be a lot of fun.
There really is no such thing as "too much" church. But, then again, balance in life is important as well.

The amount of time going to church is up to him. If you say he gets tired of it, tell him he should take some time off. It sounds to me like he feels obligated to go to church. Maybe someone there told him that you have to go to church all the time to show that you love God. I remember talking to a girl who said she wanted to give up all her hobbies because we need to keep Jesus first, and if we are doing something else we are putting something ahead of him. It was irritating. Also, if you are taking time to go to church with him at least sometimes, then maybe talk to him about time for just the two of you. If he decides he wants to go to church more than spend some time with you (can't compromise) then sadly I say leave him. There needs to be a balance in life. But if he is able to make time for you still (at a level acceptable to you both) and has time for his job, and sleep, etc...then just the number of times he goes to church is not too much.

It is a free country, he can go to church as much as he wants. What matters is if you want to either go with him, or find someone that has similar interests as you instead. Obviously, the guy is way into church, that is not going to change. You sound very young, you will find this out on your own, but remember my words when you do, you cannot change people, you have to like them the way they are, or hang out with someone else. Good luck dear.
God Bless You

This time of singleness is a time when one can spend a lot of time is service to their Savior. After one gets married and has children the obligations of family often restrict this. Can we serve God to much? No, but can we neglect other duties? Yes. There needs to be a balance.

We are to learn as much as we can about our Heavenly father as we can. What is more important have a good time here on earth when we are her but just a twinkle of an eye are spending eternity together. Stick with him and support him and learn with him.

It depends on your boyfriend. If he believes that this is important to him, I don't think it is too much at all. If he is doing this unwillingly, then yes, people shouldn't be forced into religion but should get in touch with it of their own accord. I think that if you really care for your boyfriend, you shouldn't question his decision to attend church this much.

Yes I would say so if it is interfering with the rest of his life. Some people I know get involved in the church and get carried away with it. Seems the more they do the more is asked of them.

It sounds like it is a bit too much for you... sounds like you are missing him already. Maybe you guys need to talk, and make a plan as to how to keep each other front and centre in your lives...

seems like a lot at his age with school work, a job and other responsibilities and personally wouldn't do it. a person can only do so much and then one can get burned out. however, if you say anything to him you will make him upset, so you are playing it smart to wait and see what happens. be patient and understanding.
