Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast. I'm your co-host, Christina Dodson. This is an Ask

Dr. Kim segment where people submit their questions for Dr. Kim Kim, and he answers them.

Thanks for listening. Today on Ask Dr. Kim, the question that we're going to be chatting about

and answering today is, if I am forgiven of my past sexual sin, why do I need to tell my boyfriend

about it? That's a great question. Thanks for submitting that. We're going to talk about that today.

What do you think, Dr. Kim, why is it important to tell your significant other about your past sexual sin,

even though you are forgiven by God? Well, first, let's define boyfriend. I mean, I don't think you tell

anybody that you date your whole sexual history. I think it's got to be someone that you're very

serious with, someone where you feel like it's leading to marriage and that at least the

relationships is a point where it could lead to that and someone that you trust very much and

you feel like this is the time to tell.

One, I think you tell because you don't want to hide something.

If you start hiding something going into a relationship or into marriage, then their tendency is,

what else are you going to hide?

And you just can't continue to hide those things.

So I think that's a big reason that I just think you need to put it out there.

And I think you just, someone need, you need to know that person loves you and knows everything

about you.

You don't want to be able to think, okay, if, if he finds that out or she finds this out,

will they still love me?

You need to put it out there.

So you don't have those doubts and questions.
