50-year-old virgin about to get married

Dear pastor

I have stayed pure as a Christian man all my life. I have never practised sex out of marriage. I have tried to get married more than once but it did not work. It seems I am about to get married. This person is in her early 50s. I don't think she will be able to have children. I am still a virgin and in my 50s, so I may not have any children. What do you think?

Dear J

It is rather rare for women in their 50s to get pregnant. However, it has happened. Some people say it is occurring more often now than before.

According to doctors, it is not wise for women in their 50s to become pregnant. They say it is rather risky. Therefore, I suggest your fiancE discuss this matter with her gynaecologist.

You say you are a virgin. What an excitement it is going to be to have sex for the first time at your age. Your wife should consider herself special to take your virginity.

I wish you well. If your wife never gets pregnant, you could adopt a child. Both of you are in my prayer.

Pastor
