How I asked God to erase my past before marrying my virgin husband – Born-again woman

A woman who had experienced new birth in Christ revealed that she had prayed to God to remove all memories of the men she had previously dated, before settling down with her partner.

Adara Sherron, a counsellor, claimed that she married without feeling ashamed because she had started over.

Although she isn’t a virgin but her husband is one, she said that they chose not to let that tarnish intimacy in their marriage.

Taking to Twitter, she wrote; “When hubby and I got serious about courtship, I fasted and prayed, and asked God to erase any ties to and memories of the men I had been with before my husband. I was not coming to our marriage bed with no prior activity. I wasn’t coming to it ashamed or condemned either because I was made clean in Christ, however I wanted to be able to come to my marriage bed with dignity; and for our experience together to be unique to us. He was a virgin and I was not, but I didn’t want that to be a hindrance to our sexual relationship.

People forget that “the marriage bed is undefiled” also means both partners have no sexual ties including memories to any other person past AND present. So I prayed, and consecrated MYSELF. I’m grateful that God erased everything. Not a single recollection. I wanted to have nothing and nobody to compare him to. Part of the reason marriages get into trouble is when couples aren’t sexually satisfied due to measuring their spouse against previous partners.

Comparison is truly the thief of all joy. Including the joy of coming together as one. No pun intended. Here’s the deal: S#x IS LEARNED BEHAVIOR. That means you have to learn your spouse and you will never truly do that living the memories of previous partners before your spouse.

If you’re desiring marriage and you were intimate with someone who wasn’t your spouse, pray about the memories and details of that experience(s) to be removed from your heart and spirit. People can laugh at me, accuse me of being a “former whore” and whatever else. I know I am not and my king doesn’t see me as that.”
