Well, I see no reason not to, after all I very much see my role as a husband set out for me in Ephesians 5 and if I can't accept my bride in the same way that Christ accepted us, I'm not following him very well am I?

I would say yes. I personally think the current is what matters most, not the past. So long as they are not sleeping around and all now, then I don't think it would bother me too much that they are no longer a virgin.

Taking each day as a gift, the good and the bad, from God. And thanking Him all along the way.

I rather he be vegan. , but If he's not and he's christian and has changed I'm not going to stomp and wale about it. Everyone has a past. Who am I to stomp love because of it. I'm more concerned that he is healthy and he loves me.

I probably wouldn't... because for me sexual purity and commitment is something I really value, and I'd need to know that the person I married cherished it as a gift from God as much as I did.
Reading over that I feel like I'm somehow a horrible person... ugh, I dunno, maybe I'm too judgmental. If God gave me a clear commandment to do so, I would of course.
You are not judgemental, you have your own beliefs. And because you have kept yourself to purity, then you want the same. That's understandable. But keep in mind that many who did not keep themselves to purity did not know the value of their bodies. Many come into Christ after making those kind of decisions (losing their virginity prior to marriage or have been married before). Or others were violated in ways they could not control. That's another convo tho that I won't get into. But again, you're not judgemental...it's so cool that you and others have kept yourselves pure for marriage. God bless you all! :-)

Well, I've saved myself for marriage and would prefer to marry a virgin who waited and thought it was special (like me) to save themselves for the one person they were going to share the rest of their lives with.
And before, when I was younger in my faith, I would not marry someone who wasn't a virgin. I was a bit more judgmental back then. But I know people make mistakes. I also know not everyone was a Christian from childhood and grew up in the faith. I didn't. I wasn't "saved" until I was 19 and I had many opportunities to have sex through high school and didn't take them. Because even when I wasn't a Christian, I felt that sex was special and shouldn't be shared with just anyone.
