Help me! Some years ago I committed a sin. I was intimate with another person, but now I’m getting to know the church, and I want to be baptized. I’ve repented of what I’ve done, but I want to know if this will make it so I can’t be baptized. Will I still be able to get married?

Hi friend. Thanks for taking the time to post your question on my site. Congratulations on your decision to be baptized! Becoming a member of this church was the best decision I ever made. It has transformed my life. I'm so grateful for the teachings of Jesus Christ that I've learned through His restored church.
Sexual sins are very serious, but the purpose of baptism is to put our old sins behind us and to begin a new life as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Through the miracle of Christ's atoning sacrifice, all of us can be cleansed from our sins. Since you are in the process of applying Christ's atonement in your own life by joining His church through baptism, I'm sure your sins will be forgiven. Those sins will not prevent you from being baptized, and they won't prevent you from getting married. We are all sinners, so we all need Jesus Christ. We need to give away all our sins to know Him. Welcome to the church!
