I know a young lady that has been dating a guy for over four years now and before they started dating they both agreed to a no sex before marriage which was even instigated by the guy.

Now they have gotten to the point of marriage and the lady insisted they go for full medical test before the marriage and the guy has refused insisting that it's not necessary.

Being that the guy is very close to the priest of the church parish they attend, she had to present the situation to the priest but the priest supported the man saying is not necessary for a medical test except the lady doesnt trust the man which are true Christian shouldn't go. This has now made the lady uncomfortable and she is beginning to suspect that their might be a hidden issue even the priest might know.

She has made up her mind not to go ahead with any wedding plans if the man isn't ready to take a test and it seems the man is still standing on his ground that he will not.

What do you advise on this?

Why is the man refusing to go. It doesn't yake days to do, only few hours.

There is no harm in doing a medical test before marriage, infact it is necessary.

What they should have done long ago

What kind of medical tests though? Is it for std 's or fertility? Either way she is within her right to know so that we don't have to hear stories that touch after they're married. Being religious has nothing to do with medical issues and it's not about trust. If she is willing then he should be too. I'd tell her to hold her ground!

What kind of priest gives such advice?.

They both need to know their HIV status.

Blood group.
Etc.

What are they hiding?.

There is no religious person in this story.

The guy and the priest are hiding something from the lady.

If you're AA, you're free but if you're AS, two things are involved

It's very so necessary

Yeah.....it is very necessary and compulsory....atleast for the sake of the kids.....

Something smells fishy...
At least genotype test for the future kids.
That was how a friend of mine almost got married to her perfect but infertile fiance.

In short, they should do medical, spiritual, traditional tests to avoid stories that touch later.

what sort of stupid question is that

so on how they have different blood type or have stds

Hmmmm.. .......trying to understand what is scaring the guy

I hope she is smart enough to standby her request. It's worrying that the priest wants to emotionally blackmail her into not getting him tested. I wonder what they're hiding?

Maybe he's living with one STD or the other. They could even be gay partners.

The lady should let go of him if he's not ready to get tested.

In this day and age everyone should be tested before they have unprotected sex!

As for the gay priest we can't rule that out

Yes
