Should I marry her?

Dear Pastor,

I am a young man who is 23 years old and I am interested in a young woman who I have grown to love and have strong feelings for. She is 24 years old.

The problem is that she had a relationship some years ago with a cousin of mine and they had sex. We are both Christians now.

Pastor, my question to you is: do you think it would be right to pursue a relationship with such a girl and even marry her?

Dear R.M

This girl and you are Christians. When she had an intimate relationship with your cousin, she was not a Christian. Whatever she did with your cousin is in the past.

If you love her, you shouldn't hold that against her. You should marry her. But, remember I said if you love her.

Pastor
