Friend went to church with his GF in early December, they have been dating at least 3 years. He said he was polite, talked to people, and had fun cause he felt comfortable there and was relaxed. "Fun" as in relaxed and enjoyed being there. She got mad cause he was too laid back and joked with people he knew.
Nearly the same thing happened to me, I told him to just "be there". Don't be so social and relaxed. He didn't like that idea.
She asked him to go again, he said he's not going through that again. "No reason to go if I'm worried about everything I do and say."
I told him just to do it how she wants then he can relax. He told me "I'm sure Ill do something wrong"
Then we started talking about the superbowl and all the bs involved with the "deflate-gate".
What are your opinions? Just go and make her happy? Don't go if she is going to possibly get mad?
I do feel sorry for him sometimes. She does knock him down from time to time.
Either way he's gonna have problems. He needs to talk to her and figure out a path forward.
My husband sometimes fusses at me for being too chatty. He's socially reserved, and it makes him uncomfortable. I had to put my foot down and tell him I was a grown woman and I didn't appreciate being censored.
Of course I thought about what he said, and I'll make a few adjustments in the future, just to avoid this issue.

Tell him to dump her. She sounds like a high-maintenance princess.
Tell him to put his pants on and act like an adult as well as a man. Tell him stop being a chump and allowing others to dictate how he acts in public, especially when it is in good faith. (no pun intended but now that i think about it, it was a good one... )
And tell him to sit her down and to let her know the time in that she will no longer try to control his actions. Tell him he is being a chump and no man should allow this.
I wouldn't go if I were him. Well, I'm not the most objective person in this case because I'm not religious and wouldn't want to go in the first place. But if I had done her a favor and gone with her - and then all she did was complain - I certainly wouldn't go again.
I thought church was where you went to reflect on and celebrate the Word of the Lord with others? It's not supposed to be a snarky cocktail party.
Maybe they should focus on the reason they are there.
