Obviously, from a biblical standpoint there is the advisement against "false witness" often seen as a prohibition against lying. So, if you go from this statement, it is wrong to hide something from someone if they ask you about it or ask you for the truth.

Do Christians--both the good and the bad--lie to their future spouses? I'd say yes on both counts. Is it wrong? It depends on the reason. Is the person lying to save themselves from censure or punishment, or are they refraining in order to spare someone's feelings? To put a classic example, if a girl you like asks if she has gained weight, and you think she has, do you "unburden" yourself and tell her this? Is it worth hurting her feelings? Or do you lie and say she looks as slim as ever?

It's wrong to hide a "secret" that has had a large impact or is current in your present life (child, drug problems, affairs, convictions, etc.) I think that hiding such things as mental illnes, severe family troubles or bad finances could cause problems in the future. And when people have admitted such problems to someone who cares for them, they often feel better because the other person supports them. But not admitting to little secrets--childhood antics, bed wetting, a humiliating nickname-- is not sinful.

Answer"Is it Ok to tell secrets before marrying a person?"

Absolutely! Tell him/her everything. It is wrong to hide you and your past from someone you are marrying and grounds for them to leave you afterwards.

AnswerIt is not only OK, I believe it is necessary if you are to have any sort of an honest relationship. I had an affair during my first marriage. It is not what ended the marriage, but it was certainly a contributing factor. I want my future husband to know everything because surely it would come out one day anyhow. If he is going to leave me, I want him to leave me before we get married, not after. And if he chooses to stay with me, knowing the worst thing I've ever done, I will thank God for this man and do everything I can to ensure we are happy for the rest of our lives.

Well that is the very best thing you can do, tell all your secrets before the marriage that is the sign of honesty and faithfulness to a [partner.

Does a person with Asperger's Syndrome need to tell his or her future spouse before marrying?

Absolutely! Marriage is based on trust, and keeping secrets betrays that trust! Also, not all people are able to deal with people with learning disabilities, so the more they learn, the better. Clarification: Asperger's Syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder, more specifically a pervasive developmental disorder. Asperger's Syndrome is not a learning disability. A person with AS can also have learning disabilities. Learning disabilities include dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscaclulia, and dysnomia.
