What seems like a farfetched idea in an overly sexed society appears to be exactly what God prescribed, according to Seahawks QB Russell Wilson when speaking about sexy R&B songstress Ciara and the topic of abstinence. The two are definitely far from virginal, as Wilson recently divorced his childhood sweetheart after not even making it to the two-year marker with his bride. "Dance Like We're Making Love" singer Ciara has dated a number of entertainers as well and is mother to a one-year-old fathered by ex-fiancé and rapper Future. To the shock and incredulousness of many fans peering in on the beautiful couple, (some were in utter disbelief) Wilson voiced to Miles McPherson pastor of The Rock Church in San Diego (video below) that the two hotties were indeed having NO "Body Parties" and were deciding to go about their courting in a different way.

In a society hopped up on the idea of sex first, is it so bad for a man to want to have a courtship with a woman he truly cares about and WANTS to abstain from a physical connection first? Well this exactly what they are doing, as the pair have decided to remain abstinent for now he expressed to the man of the cloth.

While the two have been met with some criticism, mainly because our thinking in this day and age leads us to believe you must "sample the milk before you buy the cow", as opposed to a time where our fathers and fore-fathers actually got married first (usually fairly young). We've definitely come a long way in our way of thinking. Marriage rates are declining rapidly while divorce rates are going sky high, the idea of true courtship has gone out the window. Having a period of time when two people are allowed to focus on getting to know one another, as opposed to throwing the sexual element into it right away could be a healthy option for some, while others would disagree and believe that sex does not stunt a relationship's growth but can draw a couple closer. To each his own. However, another reason it may be hard to grapple with, is because the R&B songstress while seemingly nice and sweet as pie, is overtly sexual as we have seen her dancing and gyrating across the stage in her sexually charged performances, bringing to life men and some women's innermost fantasies.

According to US, Wilson does relay to the pastor that it is extremely hard (pun intended), simply due to the fact that Ciara is "everything you could ever want in a woman", he even goes on to say "out of a scale from 0-10 she's a 15", and that though the two are far from perfect and not a pristine picture of purity, this is the route the couple have decided to take for themselves at this time. Now if the two slip up, could we really blame the pair?

Wilson joked, but was dead serious when he asked the audience members to pray for his strength as he was going to need it to refrain from wanting to "go all the way" with the sexy Cici, who could definitely test a man's willpower. Though some may not agree, and have openly criticized why it won't work, we definitely have to applaud the couple for wanting to try something new and go about dating from a different perspective after both having experienced heartache in love. Though it may seem cheesy to some, you can't help but root for the handsome couple and hope for the best.
