Baptist and Methodist churches spread widely across the United States and other regions during the 18th and 19th centuries, primarily due to their emphasis on evangelism and grassroots organization. The Second Great Awakening significantly boosted their growth, with revival meetings attracting large audiences and encouraging conversions. Baptists, known for their congregational autonomy, proliferated in rural areas, while Methodists, organized under a more hierarchical structure, expanded rapidly in both urban and rural settings. Together, they contributed to shaping the religious landscape of America, emphasizing personal faith and community engagement.

What would a good compromise church be for a Methodist adn baptist that are married?

I was in that situation 25 years ago. Methodist churches do have some that are more evangelical than others. If you can find an evangelical Methodist church, usually smaller than the "First Methodist of the City," then that would be the best of the compromise. Not to step on any toes but my spouse found the baptist churches in our southern town to be too judgmental for her Methodist upbringing. I found the Methodist church acceptable to my divergent beliefs in Bible study and I could still believe as a conservative baptist while still a member in the Methodist church.
