Sex for Saints

Episode 405 - When Your Spouse Had Previous Sexual Partners


Listen Later

In this episode, I talk about what happens when a spouse's sexual past becomes a source of anxiety, comparison, guilt, or secrecy inside a marriage. I unpack why obsessive thoughts about a partner's past aren't really about what happened then, but about fear and insecurity now, and why no amount of details ever brings peace. We also look at the other side of the equation: carrying a past you never disclosed, how secrets quietly create distance, and how to thoughtfully decide whether disclosure is actually the right step. Throughout the episode, I separate repentance before God from emotional healing in marriage, and explain why believing in the Atonement doesn't mean you're required to feel nothing. This episode is for anyone struggling with jealousy, rumination, moral superiority, or the weight of an unresolved sexual past in a faith-based marriage.
