11 Reasons To Date A Church-Going Guy
Tired of bad boys? Try going for the ultimate nice guy.
When it comes to niceness, church-going guys might be the new boy next door. Sure, they get pegged as close-minded, liberal-haters but don't let the Ned Flanders and Kirk Cameron stereotypes overshadow an otherwise varied group of quality males. Chances are, if you overlook the media image and peek into the next Sunday morning service, you'll find someone who encompasses the following qualities. Women Really Do Like Nice Guys
1. He uses clean language. Granted, he'll probably let slip a "frick" or a "darn," but by golly, it's a lot cuter than a slew of f-bombs.
2. More than likely, he adheres to the verse, "Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit," which means that he doesn't smoke, do drugs or get drunk. At most, he'll indulge in a quality cigar at a party or in a gin and tonic at happy hour, but you won't need to worry about cleaning him up afterward. As an added perk, he can always volunteer as the designated driver. 4 Alcohol-Free Date Ideas
3. Unless he sleeps through every service, he has a high attention span. Bring up a couple of points from an hour-long sermon and see if you're not a little bit impressed when he can discuss them in depth. Bonus points if he can connect the current sermon to the previous week's topic.
4. He's consistent. Getting up early on Sunday mornings to hear a sermon and sing for a couple of hours takes a good amount of dedication. Of course, we're referring to the guys who attend service more often than on Christmas and Easter.
5. He's a romantic. If he believes in God, there's a good chance he also believes in destiny. He takes dating and women so seriously that he might even pray before asking you out. If he prays often in his own time, he has probably prayed for the future love of his life—which could be you—before you even met. If adorably old-fashioned guys are your thing, look no further than the next pew over. Faith And Spirituality In Relationships

I honesty believe this.... For me church has definitely open my eyes to see what or where i was did wrong in my marriage. Now that i am divorce i see my mistakes i made in my past. But definitely believe that if i only would have gone to church i would have been a better husband. But oh well whats is done is done i have moved on and grew from it. :-)
I agree with much of what has been said, but I do know of a few church going men who do not posses these characteristics. If a "church going man" happens to be one of your requirements to be with someone, I would recommend you know how to test and see whether he's just "a bench warmer", or if the "church is really goin" in him? I provide tools and education that teach my clients how to do this. What good is a church going man if he is not truly connected to God? I can say that when a man is honestly committed to God tends to be better able to understand the sacredness and seriousness in his commitment to a wife.
Isn't that what most women want?

I am a church-going woman and I have met more than my share of players, yes, right there in church. The biggest problem were separated men who say they're divorced...and men who are there trolling for women (kind of like this article is recommending women troll for men at church). Yes, it is generally a wholesome environment, but most of the men there are taken. Be particularly careful about sexual relationships -don't assume they're low on testosterone because they pray! Church isn't just for the pious, it's for the sinners as well. And in my personal experiences I found plenty of over-sexed men, ready to prey (not just pray) on a woman. Sad but true.
I really don't agree with this list what so ever. Only because I know quite a few "church goers", who are exactly the opposite of this list. My husband is Agnostic, and has all the qualities listed above. A good man should not be determined by his religion, nor by his attitude towards it.
Because he will be the right man because he is a real man he will take good care of you and the family at all time a good chirston man is good for that woman
