is it better to find somebody as a future husband /wife thru church since they have higher moral ground?

Not necessarily. Your chances are better, but it's not guaranteed. Just because someone goes to church does not mean they have better morals. There are plenty of unsaved people who act better than some of us saints. That is why God expects us to set a good example, otherwise we give the non-believers a reason to blaspheme.
Whoever you marry, make sure that the 2 of you are evenly yoked. 2 cannot walk together unless they are in agreement. God would like for us to be with believers, but He also realizes that it's possible that we won't be with a believer. He spoke about if a non-believer is pleased to be with the believer, the believer sanctifies the non-believer.
Make sure whoever you love, loves and respects you and does NOT get in the way of your beliefs. Or be a hinderance to your belief.
Hope this helps!! :)

That is true if they actually believe in God.
I joined the Mormon church and most members dont, drink, smoke or do anything that is very convenant violating.
I found that when I converted and getting married in religion and just being with some one who lives the word of God and will not break there covenant makes life easier because you are 2 in the same purpose and trying to get to the same place.
Not abbusing substances and living for God elminates so many relationship issues off the bat.

I don't know about that, but the chances of finding someone you have more in common with, and share a world view with will increase by looking within your community. As for morals, going to church is no guarantee thier morals will be any better than anyone else's only guarantees that they go to church.

Church or religion in general doesn't give a "higher moral ground" as you put it.
I have two friends who as toddlers until their preteens and teens (sisters) Who were continually savagely rapped and beaten by the men (2 husbands one boyfriend) their mother found in church. And only one ever got punished for it.
So I say no. Get to know the person and see for yourself how high they stand on moral ground.

Um, you know, there are people who do not share your religion that have strong morals.
Thankfully my husband realized that.
Of course, if you're Christian you're told all sorts of nonsense about how you aren't supposed to be with unbelievers, how it's a sin, how it's forbidden. How this unbeliever will drag you down into darkness.
Blah, blah, blah.
If you are truly commited to each other it works. Depends on the level of commitment.
Are you looking for someone just to be with? Or are you actually looking for someone to love? Because the person you are meant to fall in love with may be far outside of what you are expecting.
