I often hold my husband's hand in church when something that is being said or sung is especially moving--and we'e in our sixties! It's your decision to make, but think through why you're doing it. If it's an expression of sharing a spiritual feeling, go for it! (Unless, that is, it truly offends or distracts others who see you. Then it would be appropriate to show consideration for them.)

A church is a synthetic shape for the objective of worship. Your God would be attentive to in case you quite have self assurance no rely in case you attend or no longer. do no longer enable your absence from the church difficulty you. do no longer attend for the objective of proving you have self assurance. Do sturdy and you'd be attentive to which you're quite a sturdy individual. submit to in suggestions, God would not choose so don't be no longer complication-free on your self. i do no longer pass to church yet I do sturdy issues for others for no different reason than to be a sturdy individual with out any advantages or possibly an insignificant thank-you. do no longer attempt to stay as much as others expectancies, fulfill your self by potential of being actual on your thoughts and the contentment of theory should not be bolstered by potential of a as quickly as each and every week pass to to this tangible shape.

if one is there to worship God
then God should have ones total attention
if your holding hands with a BF or GF then your attention or mind and heart is not centered on GOD
but yourselfs
in the old days the men were on one side the women on the other...as not to draw attention away from GODS WORD or worshipping Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH
if your minds on the hands holding
thats Flesh
then your not worshipping GOD in Spirit or in Truth
Words of wisdom
dont let the worldly things nor the flesh
take you away from the TRUTH
even tho it may seem ok and be Nice
isnt always what is right with God and your life !!!

I don't think it is wrong but I wouldn't encourage it. You are supposed to be concentrating on what is happening - but it is lovely to share it with someone special.
Be careful about doing it in strange places. People may not be understanding. For instance in mosques people are actively discouraged from touching a member of the opposite sex.
