So many of my friends have struggled after having sexual relationships, even if they are in long term committed circumstances. While only having one sexual partner (within marriage) is my ideal, I am not foolish enough to think that people have perfect pasts even if (and after) they have found have God and now believe that this is the best way to do things. Unfortunately I have not always lived by these standards, and while I regret my past decisions I can not ignore them. The same goes for whomever I should end up with. The point for me is not that they have never had a sexual partner, but that they now view sex in the same light as me and have now decided to wait until marriage. This isn't a decision that should be made in light of mine, but a conclusion they must have come to on there own, it is not about respecting what I believe but by choosing that way for them self despite me. My standards for a partner are based on their relationship with God not on there sexual history. Though I know that if I am with someone who has a sexual past we will need to address it fully and move on, in order to have a happy spiritual and sexual marriage of our own. Does this help?

Does this help?

I'm wondering, since I, having been a Christian and being a virgin now at 28 much because I thought along the same lines as you when I was younger, if you are anxious about the idea that the person you marry might have various sexual experiences and not be saving himself for marriage. Do you feel the imbalance will be a problem, or will you have celibacy as a standard for the person you marry? I know you wrote this a year ago. Have your ideas changed?

Please don't ever feel that you need to apologise for studying journalism! It is something to be proud of and from your blog it sounds like you have exactly the right attitude to change things for the better. The only way to change the impression that some people have of the profession is for journalists with integrity to blaze the way. I went to a really interesting talk not so long ago by John Butterworth MBE, editor of the Shrewsbury Chronicle, about journalism and Christianity - it can and does work, so have faith, keep going and be proud :-) Good luck in everything!
