Love Isn’t Deception — Why Health Honesty Matters Before Marriage

Advertisement

PCOS, erectile dysfunction, and HIV — these are just a few examples of health conditions that many people quietly battle every day.
Living with such conditions already comes with its challenges, but what makes it even harder is the fear of judgment and discrimination.

Because of this, some people choose to hide their condition from the person they intend to marry, thinking that once the wedding is over, it will be too late for their partner to back out.
But let’s be clear — this is wrong. Deeply wrong.

When you choose to hide such vital information, you take away your partner’s right to make an informed decision about their life and health. Marriage is about trust, openness, and shared truth — not manipulation.

These health conditions can directly impact your spouse’s emotional, physical, and sexual well-being. You can’t claim to love someone and deceive them at the same time.
If your love is true, it can withstand honesty. The right person will accept you — not in spite of your condition, but because they choose you with it.

Imagine a man hiding erectile dysfunction from his fiancée, or a woman concealing an HIV diagnosis from her partner. Once the truth unfolds, it doesn’t just cause heartbreak — it destroys trust, damages intimacy, and can even lead to legal consequences if a partner’s health is endangered.

Honesty isn’t optional in relationships; it’s foundational.
If you truly believe in love, then you must believe in truth — because the person meant for you will stand by you, not because you’re flawless, but because you’re real.

Please, take this seriously. Love deserves honesty.
