He should be able to wear anything, provided he is modest in appearance. The other idea that one has to be dressed to the nines for the Lord is "legalism" if it is pushed...but--there is nothing wrong with dressing in one's finest to worship the Master. I should think you are probably overjoyed at the fact that hubby is going to church at all, eh?

Tigger, honey, you get your husband whatever he feels comfortable in to wear to Church and don't worry about what he is wearing as long as he is going with you!! It may just be his upbringing, some people are just brought up to dress nicely when they leave the house.

My mother and sister never leave the house without makeup on. It's just how they feel comfortable. I feel comfortable going out with no makeup on. Hey, if it hurts you to look at my plain face, don't look!

Get him what makes him feel comfortable. If he is dressed comfortably he will feel more comfortable in his surroundings and that is more important right now. Once he feels comfortable at church he may choose different attire. Let the choice be up to him and don't make a big deal about it.

God bless you both in this new chapter in your lives and marriage. Expect things to be radically different!

My husband wears jeans in good condition and a decent button down shirt to church. My husband can't stand dress slacks cause the pockets stick out and get in the way of the wheels on his wheelchair, in fact he even wore jeans to our wedding! If the church outright insists your husband wear only dress slacks, I'd find another church.

I suppose, come to think of it, that I'm not necessarily a stickler for either way to dress, but pray tell, why is it that we all 'dress to the nines' to view a DEAD person in a funeral home, but are willing to always come as a just-fallen-off-a-freight-train hobo to meet the LIVING King of Glory, Christ Jesus The Righteous One, in His Church?! A tuxedo to meet the President of the U.S., but a crumpled survival outfit to meet the Coming King! It'll unravel your socks. Ah, the downright incongruity of it all! Besides, hasn't the "seeker-friendly" bit gone by the boards somewhat? Whatever, I know that Lily Tomlin's bag lady once said, "No matter how cynical you become, it's never enuf to keep up!"

This thread to me is more about just rejoicing in the fact that Tigger's husband is going to give church a try. That stands out to me more than wether if he wants to wear dress slacks or jeans. Perhaps later on he'll see things the way you do and buy some nice slacks and wear them to church, but for now, let's praise the Lord and rejoice with Tigger!

Thanx, thanx, yes, yes, get him into church, but my concern generall speaking re DRESSING UP for DEAD people in funeral homes, but BEING A SURVIVAL HOBO when meeting the LIVING Christ of God went, dare I say, unaddressed. Ah, well, I'm now off to Starbucks in a black leather jacket and my Israeli-type army fatigues. I always choose S.B. over practically everybody.
