A Nigerian man, Eyo Okon Edet, has revealed that he has been courting his fiancee for five years and has never touched her hands.

Edet, who is finally ready to walk down the aisle with his fiancée, Blessing Donatus Brown, in just a few days, commended the grace of God for helping him resist the temptation to be physical with her until they are married.

According to Eyo Okon Edet, “Throughout the time of their courtship, God has kept his heart from lustful desires.”

“I want you guys to celebrate with me; today is a special day in Akwa Ibom State. I have courted my fiancée for five (5) years now, and God has been faithful to us by keeping us holy and sanctified through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! By the grace of God, I have never touched her hands, and He has kept my heart intact from any lustful desire while we were courting. I have experienced the power of God that sets a man free. What God cannot do does not exist; He alone can set a man free from the power of sin,” he wrote on Facebook.

Eyo Okon Edet and Blessing Donatus Brown are scheduled to marry on May 20, 2023, in Calabar, Cross River state.
