[QUOTE="Fromgenesis, post: 67527700, member: 251987"] No, it is not wrong to want to marry a virgin if your reason for doing so is not your own standard, but that which is articulated in Scripture.. in other word obedience. That is the only standard. From your post, it is not clear whether this is the reason for you being unsure what to do. It is the ideal to marry a virgin, for a variety of reasons - firstly because that is God's ideal, but secondly because it brings (could bring) complications into the marriage. None of us are without sin (having had sexual relations is no more a sin than looking with lust at a woman) and when the relationship has developed a bit and you know her a lot better, you will be in a better position to judge her relationship with Christ - and that is the crux. Our previous pastor used to say to his sons when asked about marriage is that there are two things that are "musts" - (1) Their partners should be real Christians and (2) they should be woman. So when the relationship has developed a bit further and you know her a lot better, and you think she is still the best thing since bubblegum, speak to a mature Christian that know ideally both of you.
