I have a sexually promiscuous past, and I don't know how to tell her about it.

Q: I've been getting to know a great Christian woman for about a month, and I think she could be the one. The problem is, I have a sexually promiscuous past, and I don't know how to tell her about it. What should I do? -- B. in Charleston

A: Thank you for sharing this. I had to deal with the same situation myself. I found that the best thing to do was to just be honest and tell her the truth. I wouldn't do it unless you're pretty sure this relationship could move forward and you think she feels the same way. But, I believe it's important to get it "out there" before feelings begin to develop and then someone could get hurt. I have found that most women are very understanding about this and, in fact, many of them have similar issues. There are virgins out there who desire to marry a fellow virgin, and that is great. But, for many of us, that is not a possibility. God bless you, brother.
