A preacher I heard once who was preaching on marriage touched on that multiple partners issue.
Basically, it’s that if you have had pre-marital sex, it has created a soul tie with each person you had sex with, and that when a man held his wife in his arms, that he was also holding all those other women.
His advice was that those in a marriage relationship committed to God, ask forgiveness for the previous sin and repent of it and ask God to break that soul tie, that there is now nothing that can be done about. You can’t go divorcing your current wife/husband and go back to the first one. That is condemned in Scripture anyway.
He said it was part of healing a marriage.
I can give you the link to the message if you’d like.
Sure, metmom, I’d appreciate a link. Thank you.
