wat

when i was young, i wanted to marry a virgin. as the years went by, i knew that if i was going to get married and marry someone around my age, chances are he was going to have a past, whether he was divorced, a widower, someone who came to Christ later in life, or someone who made a mistake in the past. BUT what mattered was his current relationship with the Lord. does he love the Lord with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength and is honoring Him today?

I absolutely concur with your estimation. You got a good man for a husband too.

You're conflating how Christian women think with secular woman. In my circle, it would be highly frowned upon to regard a man's 'experience' as a key issue, however I do know a few carnal Christians who possibly would be pleased with that.
No, that's not a qualifier on most Christian women's checklist, a playboy background = deal breaker actually and MOST Christian women don't prefer a man w/ a lot of carnal expertise but a lot of integrity😇👍.

thing is, you did NOT marry a virgin. The vast majority who says "him being virgin dont matter" still somehow ends up not choosing the virgin guy. Its a turnoff for women, even if they dont admit it. Its something deep inside, something biological.

I will give you an exemple sister.

if a woman is in love with 2 guys, as much. one of the guy is virgin, the other one is not. then she will choose the guy who is not virgin.

You said 'woman' which is probably true. But a 'Christian woman', I'd say 90% would pick the virgin, hopefully like themselves.
I myself am a widow and I was also a backslider at times and am totally committed to the Lord now as I'm sure there are Christian men in the same category. In these cases, obviously we're not physical virgins but Spiritual virgins, in the sense we've cut ties with our past lives.
Btw, when you say 'the vast majority' are you doing the polling and if so where are you doing it?

A godly woman wouldn't be pursuing super deep relationships with two guys at once. And any sensible godly woman over 25 pretty much knows that the chances are good a guy she may be interested in isn't a virgin. But the shortage of acceptable godly men available (ones who aren't addicted to something, don't try to get you into bed before the wedding, and have shown they're capable of living independently as functional responsible adults) is such that the virginity issue is a non-issue. As long as he's got a solid faith and a track record that can give the gal confidence he'll be faithful to his wife; that's enough.

I'm sorry you don't seem to know any godly women, but they aren't avoiding you because you're a virgin. They're avoiding you because you're argumentative and accusatory and seem to like stirring up conflict and they don't want to make that a constant part of their lives.

Not the Christian women where I live.

Maybe you should move over here to tennessee, United states. If Christian women over there are like you say, it sounds like a bad place to live.

How many 'Christian' women did you interview,,,,5? I'd have a hard time finding even 5 'Christian' women heavily influenced by secularism. Where do you live, Backslider's Abbey?

When I was a virgin, a non virgin man would have been 100% out of the question and disqualified. Even now, if (God forbid) I had to for some reason get remarried, I would never give a chance to someone who ever had extramarital sex. I could see how you would come to this conclusion considering most "Christian women" are not waiting for marriage themselves. But any devout woman who takes her faith seriously is not going to see a history of sleeping around as anything positive in a man.

You love generalizing and making up stories, but you don't like showing facts.
And even when the Fact that every person here, women included, all disagree and say they've never known any woman like that you keep making false claims against them.
And you wonder why you have no friends.

Btw, you claim I didn’t marry a virgin when I didn’t mention anything about my husband’s past. All I stated is there was a greater possibility I would marry someone with a past because of my age. I married at 33.
