Media personality and relationship counsellor, Solomon Buchi has educated the general public on the significance of marrying a virgin.
Buchi’s response is spurred by a tweet from an X user as regards marrying a virgin.
Explaining the dynamics, Buchi said that virgins have the lowest divorce rates, citing a 65% probability of having a happy marriage for women who marry as virgins.
He shared insights from the Institute for Family Studies, claiming that non-virgins are more likely to experience issues such as low self-esteem, academic failure, and poor relationship decisions.
According to his findings, most sexual problems in marriages stem from past sexual experiences.
The media personality countered the tweep’s apparent skepticism, advising him to refrain from ridiculing virtue and implying that those who lack it may not fully understand its value.
Buchi shared statistics supporting his argument, stating that 71% of men who had only slept with their spouse reported satisfaction with their marriage, while 64% of women who had only had sex with their spouse claimed happiness in their marriage.
He said in contrast, women with 6 to 10 sexual partners were reportedly 13% less likely to report marital happiness.
Men with more than 21 partners were 15% less likely to express satisfaction with their marriage.

“Non-virgins are projected to suffer more economic lack, low self-esteem, academic failure, and bad relationship choices.
“In this pornographic world, virginity is proof of discipline and focus. If anyone should be embarrassed, it should be the other party that revels in sexual promiscuity.
“There’s nothing shameful about marrying on a clean slate. Most sexual problems in marriage stem from past sexual experiences. Lastly, even if there was no benefit of virginity, we ought to stay virgin till marriage because God commanded it. God is wise, I’ll rather follow him, than follow the bandwagon.
“Stop trying to ridicule virtue just because you lack it.”
