Its pretty cut and dry if you ask me.......I would just go by myself.......you can't make or force someone to go.....just my opinion

Did you know he hated going to church before you married him, or is this a new development?

Sometimes it's just setting an example that will get another to go....worth a try. Tell him you want to go because you enjoy it.

Nothing worse than having someone feel forced into doing something..... let him stay home.... go for yourself and your son. You could invite him to the dinners and activities... and let him make up his mind when or if he wants to go to church to worship.
I agree, being an example might help a lot.

BIZ: I have taken the liberty of re-writing your post, subbing golf as the activity in question. My apologies for seeming to trivialize your concerns, but maybe if you looked at the same question with another activity, it may change how you see the problem.

My husband and I have been married for 2 weeks and he hates golfing, I really enjoy it how can i get him to go with out making him feel like he is being forced to go, I feel bad cause i go for our son (I want him to love golf, too, just like I do) and for my own need to be there. Anyone got any advise ???

I think that is an interesting way to put it...playing golf.

If you continue to go and enjoy golf, without trying to make your husband feel quilty, he just may join your family time. How old is your son?
