Question:<\/p>\n
I am a young Christian woman and I want to marry a man who is\u00a05 years older than me.<\/em> We know each other more than a year.<\/em>\u00a0He was and is\u00a0involved in church in various ministries\u00a0and our pastors call him one of the core young man\u00a0of our church. <\/em>At the beginning of our relationship he told me that four years after he had been\u00a0baptized he went astray from the way, sexually sinning with a non-Christian girl.<\/em> He said that he had\u00a0repented and changed\u00a0and he knew God had forgiven him, too.<\/em> I also forgave him. In <\/em>a year I learned from some friends that he had had several sexual experiences with several non-Christian girls.<\/em> I\u00a0confronted him with\u00a0the situation and he acknowledged the truth.<\/em> I felt crushed, shocked by his testimony. <\/em>He said that\u00a0he\u00a0had been\u00a0weak and that he had hidden the whole truth for fear of\u00a0hurting me\u00a0and leaving him.<\/em> He explains that he has changed, although his last fall was two years ago.<\/em> How is it wise to act?<\/em> To forgive him for the second time and risk entering the covenant of marriage with him? <\/em>Or to break this relationship that is an unhealthy\u00a0prerequisite for marriage, although I\u00a0love him as I have never loved?<\/em> Please give me some advice as soon as possible, I feel disoriented and desperate to be\u00a0between two alternatives.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
His gesture in the beginning of your\u00a0relationship seems spiritually, when he\u00a0confessed that he had sinned and apologized.But, I am about to think that he\u00a0did\u00a0that because\u00a0he feared that people would come to tell you about his sexual immorality.I wonder why he\u00a0said that he had sinned with only one girl?I think he did it to create the impression that that fornication was an accident and not a lifestyle.\u00a0The fact that people came to tell you that he had committed fornication\u00a0with many women, a thing that he himself admitted when\u00a0confronted,\u00a0proves you once again that fornication was for him a way of life and not an accident for which he was sorry. I\u00a0can not judge without knowing details and I\u00a0do not know why pastors\u00a0saw in him \u201cone of the\u00a0core\u00a0young man\u201d, but the fact that he presented you\u00a0a half of the truth\u00a0makes me\u00a0believe that his repentance was half and thus he\u00a0remains a divided\u00a0hearted man who wants to be a friend both\u00a0with God and\u00a0also with\u00a0the world.I do not think the concern \u201cnot to hurt you\u00a0too much\u201d was the reason that he has not told you about his fornication with\u00a0many women, because you\u00a0have been enough hurt.I say again, I think he wanted to present you that that was\u00a0an accident, and not\u00a0his lifestyle, or at least that it was until now.<\/p>\n
It seems to me a great\u00a0risk for you to marry him.<\/p>\n
I read your message in the morning and then visited a family of Christians.There I learned\u00a0of their great pain.One of the two girls they have,\u00a0got married to a boy who had also lived in sin, although had grown up in\u00a0a family of Christians.Then, it seemed that he\u00a0repented and asked her to marry him.\u00a0A few days after the wedding, she caught him\u00a0smoking in\u00a0the car and when she asked him how he explained\u00a0that, he said that he had always\u00a0smoked \u2026 Then he started to drink, use drugs and commit adultery\u00a0with other\u00a0women.\u00a0When his wife became pregnant, to escape any responsibility, he said that the child was not his and drove her away from home.Now she raises the child alone and is very\u00a0hurt in her heart. I thought of you when I heard this story.I think that it was not a mere coincidence that God made me find about this case this day.<\/p>\n
