Hey everyone, I'm back with another relationship post (I promise these will stop soon). First, I wanna thank each and every one of you that replied to my last post. I consider you all a blessing... here's my latest question..does overlooking a partner's sexual past make a man foolish?

  1. Between MGTOW, secular RP, and even Dalrock, there's this idea that men who marry a girl with an n-count essentially get a raw deal. From what I've read on here and through studies, a female having two or more sexual partners has a very high chance of divorce.

  2. 1 Timothy 5:12 says to treat older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters. Yet, when I read secular RP, MGTOW, Dalrock etc., a lot of the professing christian women treated Christian men who respected them as their BB and were sleeping with the alpha on the side. The Christian guy never found out and some of these relationships supposedly lead to marriage. How does a Christian man know he isn't being played like this during the dating process?
  3. I know a lot of women in the church that have a pretty extensive sexual past (more than you would think), and/or are single mothers. Is it a bad idea to get involved with these women if they are truly repentant? I don't really care about n-count as much as it seems in my posts, it just seems like a stupid idea to overlook clear research that says "your marriage has a high chance of failing because of your gfs past."

I guess one option is to find a virgin, but like I just said, I don't care enough to really ask if a girl is a virgin or not, I just want to know if she's walking with Christ. I'd rather have Rahab from the OT (who could be interpreted as a former prostitute) as a wife vs. the vast majority of "casual christian" women who just listen to Hillsong (i'm sorry lol) and don't even read their bibles, w/ no desire to get closer to God and serve him.

PLUS, what does "virgin" even mean to her? I mean, the most obvious thing is a girl could just lie, especially due to the stigma in the church of having and (gasp) enjoying sex, and the shame that could come from being considered "impure." The second thing is she could have her own version of the world's "it didn't count" thing. She could have sucked off 100 guys, done anal threesomes etc. and you might never know, even if she didn't have PIV sex. How would I ever get the truth? Most women are extremely guarded on sexual topics and can lie with a straight face. You never really know anyone except God I guess, but God isn't trying to harm you in any way, whereas a lying, cheating "Christian" woman could fool you (and even herself) into thinking she cares about the things of God, just long enough for her to take most of your assets.

Look, lastly, I get that none of this will matter once we meet Jesus. As hard as it is for me to admit, even if I got played in this life, my wife had been with 1000 guys before me when she said 10, did everything with them and only popped out 2 kids with me out of panic, cheated on me during marriage, took 90% of my assets, got full custody of the kids, I got laughed out of divorce court with letters from the judge telling me I was a loser, and she had a new guy every night on my dime (and sent pictures), and I was sent to prison due to not paying child support, ultimately, vengeance is the Lord's and 1000 years from now, most of this life will be like a distant memory in comparison. She would have to answer to God for her crimes, and might end up in hell if she didn't repent in that scenario.

I now get that my mission before having a wife is to glorify God, and my mission after having a wife (regardless of whether the marriage lasts) is ultimately to glorify God. No female alone will satisfy me like a close relationship with God, and I already have everything I need to be "complete in God." I am already happy, healthy, content, and ready to serve with or without a wife, but if I do get one, she would only be a helper on my mission that was established before her. I get it, and yet these types of issues still bother me. Please help me again guys. And please share your secrets if you've had a successful marriage.
