Marriage is an institution of God and monogamy is a divine, institution of the church. Both institutions are in process of fulfillment during a pure wedding. At Least Four People: Two Guarantors and the Marrying Couple
I would prescribe things to assure purity and be simple: One guarantor (the daughter's father or guardian) say, "I give this bride in respect of chastity according to Ex. 22 and Dt. 22." Another (the son's father or guardian) say, "I give this groom in respect of monogamy (I Cor. 7:27 and I Timothy. 3:12), and that he has no obligations to any former virgins. You will be joined together at consummation (Gn. 2:24)." Old People Wedding Ceremony Old People Wedding: This would require the love (Ephesians 5:25) and purity tenets as well. In case there was a former obligating issue(s) for the male, or fornication or adultery issue(s) for the female, the former sexual partner could not be alive else there would be an invalidating, cognizance factor. Also, both participants would have to be very wise to provide evidence of chastity because it would be very difficult for aged people to prove their sexual purity to one another. Proper Desire Sometimes, obviously by all the illegitimate, fornication and remarriages we see in erring so called church gatherings, it is trying to figure how to live without being tempted to date or be married. However, God gives peace to those wanting to serve him, so a desire for a mate is really not of importance under times one must be single. Think toward good desires, not those that lead to sin. Sin and crime must be prevented at all costs. Background Checks Are A Necessity Therefore, for a male, in the case he cannot be reconciled to a former virgin and realizes only the death of the former sex partner would set him free (Rom. 7:3) so he can marry someone else, it is much better to wait than to take things unjustly into his own hands by going against God's direction for marriage. King David made a horrible decision and paid tremendously for it by trying to circumvent the adultery law and having the husband of Bathsheba killed (manslaughter). Also, nevertheless, it is good for the one that can't marry someone else to abide his (or her) separation and learn to love his current life and forced singleness, even as virgins willfully do.
