Your Dating Relationship and Your Sexual Past

You are in a serious, committed dating relationship, and you are thinking about marriage. Or perhaps you are already engaged and are eagerly counting down the weeks until your wedding. But there's a weight in the back of your mind. You haven't shared your sexual past. Maybe you're even hiding a current sexual addiction. But you're also not sure if your boyfriend or girlfriend needs to know details of your sexual past or present. Won't talking about it bring more harm than good? You wonder whether you need to share anything and, if yes, what you should share. Ellen Dykas explains that in order to start marriage on a healthy and solid footing, couples need to build a foundation of trust, vulnerability, and openness so they can make wise decisions about a lifetime of commitment. Weaving in the beauty and freedom of the grace of Jesus, Ellen gives principles that will guide readers in how to walk in honesty and transparency with each other and encourage them to rest in the forgiveness of the Lord for their past.
