Can a Partner’s Sexual Past Predict Faithfulness in Marriage?

A person’s past sexual history does not automatically determine whether they will be faithful in marriage. Faithfulness depends more on personal values, honesty, commitment, boundaries and the work both partners are willing to do. Before marriage, couples should have open conversations about their past, expectations around intimacy and what trust means to them. A period of personal reflection, counselling or celibacy may help someone who feels they need to make major changes in their life. Being a virgin or having had several past partners is not a guarantee of faithfulness or unfaithfulness. The key is choosing a partner whose actions, character and commitment match what they say.
