MARK Wahlberg took his now-wife to church on their first date.

The Lovely Bones actor wanted to share his faith with Rhea Durham — who he married last August and is currently expecting his fourth child with — as soon as they met and admits it made a lasting impression on her.

“We met through a mutual friend in New York,” said Mark. “I asked if she wanted to hang out the next day and she did, so I said, ‘Well, come to church with me.’

“She was raised a Christian, not a Catholic like me. She did come — and now she’s converted.”
