He believes in god, and i dont. We respect each others opinion and its never a problem. All the sudden out of no where he wants to start going to church... why? nothing has really happened and he NEVER goes to church. People wouldnt even believe him if he said he was thats how much he doesnt go... so it confuses me why he would want to do that when he never has and we have diff religions.

He may just want to experience church out of curiosity. At least he's not forcing his religion on you. Maybe you should ask him why he wants to go to church, I'm sure he'll tell you, just don't be condescending about it. This is nothing to be confused about because a lot of people do this, and I'm a prime example. One day i just went to church because i wanted to know what i was missing.

You could ask him.
Just try to make it as non-confrontational as possible, just listen to his reasons.
Give him a hug on his way out and sit down with a really good book while he is away.
Edit:
If you plan to have kids you really need to talk about their religious upbringing now. I had no real problem with my kids being baptized - it's just water and words, but I made sure that they did not go to church until they were at least 6 or 7, and then it was only if they said that they wanted to.
I am not going to stop them becoming religious if they want. I will always be there to discus what I believe and why, but I was not willing to let them be indoctrinated while they were still in the really impressionable age.
Luckily my wife - a non church going Christian - was O.K. with that.

You will never understand a need you never have had.
Marriage is not only about a couple, but the merging of two family. Moreover, when children come along, the families become more involved.
Let him go to church or anything else. The question is what do you want to do? Support him in quest or claim that you respect something you don't understand.

These kinds of problems are going to arise, especially if you are dating someone of different religion. Maybe something did happen to him that made him decide to go. He may have seen something on the news or heard about a friend losing a loved one. For one reason or another he feels obligated to go, and if you knew he was a christian when you started dating him, you might have known he might go to church. If it really bothers you enough, talk to him about it, but if he isnt pressuring you to go, I really dont understand why you have a problem with it. maybe you could elaborate more?

from what i've got experienced and seen in my existence, distinctive religions can artwork IF neither one is extremely non secular... like, you may say you're a Christian or a Jew, yet no longer prepare it or attend amenities. If the two all and sundry is very in contact with the thought equipment of their respective faith and attend amenities at their respective places of worship, it may advance right into a huge subject- especially after the babies start up coming and get to an age the place you elect them to start gaining knowledge of approximately faith and G-d. you may think of this is no longer a reason to break-up, yet I assure you that it o.k. could bring about extensive issues down the line and that's going to be plenty harder to break-up at that element. in case your non secular believes are that significant to you, i'd propose no longer courting every person exterior your faith, so which you do not have this actual subject to handle. i comprehend, i'd in no way date exterior my faith, nor would my babies or grandchildren for purely those motives. solid success to you!

Religion has broken as many relationships as it has brought together.
One's religous beliefs are a fluid thing, I think. He may be on a road to becoming more evangelical where maybe he's middle of the road right now.
And what happens when there are kids? With just of the 2 of you, he could maybe be content with you doing your thing and he doing his - but won't he want his kids in his church? Won't it be harder if you aren't also part of the church too?
Sorry...but red flag. You can't be nothing and he be something.

This is why we are told in the Bible not to be un-equaly yoked.
The problem is all ready starting for you and him, you don't mind him believing in God as long as he doesn't act on it.
He doesn't mind you not believing in God until he wants to start going to church and doing something for God.
Husband and wife are to be one just as Christ and God is one. You can not very well do that if one believes and one does not.
That is why I urge Christians not to even date a non-Christian, because it could cause pain for both of you later on in the relationship.
God Bless...I am praying for you both.

The spirit works! He believe ther is a God you do not. So he wants to go to church. Can we council God on what he does and the ways he does things? Do you know anything about God and his spirit?

you have to bear in mind that you should respect each others religion and that you can still be good with each other.
You must be very faithful with your relationship by merely going to church and talk with each other so as nobody will gonna think that you don't just care each other.
Learn to think positve tihngs in life.
Strenghten you belief in God(Jesus Christ)
He's the most powerful God in the Earth.

Maybe because something or someone opened his mind and heart. Try to go with him. You won't lose anything when you go to church and at least you could spend quality time with him in a different way. =)
