Holding hands with a church member (opposite sex) during the sermon?

[tinytim]

Hey, Tom.. .maybe your new church slogan can be...

"Shoulder licking good"

Or

"We take a licking, but we keep on ticking"

 

[Tom Bryant]

Tim - :laugh: Next year I'm coming to you for our 2009 slogan!

I have spoken to young couples "in love" and asked them to calm down. I did it quietly and after the service. But I also warned them that the next time I would do the warning publicly.

Does this happen the entire time? Doesn't this make notetaking difficult? Turning pages? Just curious. I'm an active participant.

Bitsy, you dang uppity woman! Don't you know all that page turnin' causes noise, and women are supposed to be silent in church. You need to have your hubby turn the pages for you. It breaks my heart to know that you are such a rabble rouser! :laugh:

Hanging my head in shame.

can you see the shame in my head hanging way over there?

I certainly hope so

And married couples didn't God intend marriage to be a partnership in the home and worship environment? I know my mother holds my father's hand in church and my brother's wife holds his to show their submission to their husbands during the learning of God's word.

My DH and I were reading this thread this afternoon and coud not figure how holding your husband's hand during the sermon is showing submission.
Where did this idea come from?

I have to wonder why they are holding hands. Are they there together, or are they two people who just happen to be sitting together today?

 

[Squire Robertsson]

You missed one.
We're married.

My wife and I do at times play patty fingers during the service. But then without any kids, we're still on our honeymoon after sixteen years.

 

[DonnaMartinez]

When hubby went to church with me I would hold his hand. We are married, I see nothing wrong with it. It isnt PDA offensive IMHO. It doesnt mean we arent paying attention or taking notes. Now cuddling, smooching ect is not appropriate.

If the people arent married then I dont think it is appropriate. Of course its different during prayers, support ect.

Again, this is in between unrelated individuals.

This probably needed to be in the op or the poll, because it totaly changes the meaning of the question. But thats not what the op question is.
As the question stands,, holding hands with the opposite sex,, my husband is the opposite sex and we hold hands all the time.

 

[D28guy]

"Holding hands??? I am just trying to keep our guests from licking each other's shoulders"

"what do you say? "If I had that tongue, I wouldn't want it my mouth either?"

"Shoulder licking good"

"We take a licking, but we keep on ticking"

How bout another poll:

Should (((reading this thread))) with a member of the opposite sex be allowed during the sermon!

[cowboymatt]

I held hands with my wife when we were dating during church and, honestly, it proved quite distracting.

Now that we're married...its become not nearly as distracting!

You are correct. I should have included this statement.
Yet it was nice to hear Squire's story :thumbs:

It looks like we're almost completely divided upon this issue
