I met someone who told me this story.
" I left Nigeria about 4 years ago. i am born-again. People around feared I'll cheat on my wife, I also feared for myself. But before I left I did something crazy. I went to the altar in church, in front of every church member, and made a fresh vow to God that He should take my life if I sleep with another woman while separated from my wife. Hmn. When I arrived, it was ok for the first few months. but as time went by, I started lusting and fantasizing over and about oyibo women.

Three years later, I found myself watching porn and masturbating because my wife also became so busy that we don't have deep conversations sometimes when I desired that. I got so deep into masturbation that I discovered a second porn site. I knew it has become a problem unto me. I started praying about it. But each time I find myself having the urge and going back to it. Mind you, my wife had trusted me more than I trusted myself. I felt it could lead to a betrayal someday and so I decided to take a different action - to expose the sin.

In September 2023 I decided to open up to my wife. I told my wife about my struggles and the efforts I had made to stop to no avail. Told her how I planned to place a firewall against the porn sites on my computer. She smiled and said I shouldn't worry that everything will be fine. By January, I suddenly noticed I had not masturbated, and i had not visited the porn site for a long time. I can't remember exactly the last time I did that. It felt strange I could do without it.

Then it struck me that it didn't seem ordinary. I called my wife up and asked her if she did anything after I spoke to her about my struggles last time. It was then she told me yes, she went to the altar in the church to pray and that was all. I had goose pimples all over me. It was magical. Till today, my libido has been put in check. Prayer really works."

Many Nigerian men and women think a married man cannot stay faithful, that is a big lie.

I wish many married women are like your wife, marital separation will be low, men addiction to different habits like alcohol, tobacco, womanizing, gambling, etc will reduce, untimely death of men and risk factors will greatly reduce.

God bless your wife, man. Also pray for her, she also need ur prayers.

You are absolutely correct.

I don't know why I'm laughing at the comment above [first comment ], it looks like sarcasm to me.
