How much should you tell the other party in a courtship about past relationships?
[EUT20 #4] If you begin courting someone with the intent to get married, how much should you tell them about past relationships (emotional/physical)? What happens if the other person asks, but you tell them it’s better they don’t know—will that cause problems with trust? Or what if they don’t ask, but you worry they’ll find out in the future if you don’t tell them up front?
In Question and Response (Q&R) sessions, a group of invited panelists respond to questions submitted by students and young adults during the week. The panelists are generally older and more experienced brothers in the Lord who have the burden to respond to our questions by sharing both the truth from the Bible and their experiences in life.
It is important to point out that these brothers do not presume to have the answers to our questions. Rather, they are willing to provide a response in fellowship, and to encourage us to personally go to the Lord and consider all these things before Him.
