  "account": "In February, Morayo Brown and her husband Brown celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary on a television show. During a recent resurfaced video from the episode, Brown revealed his mother-in-law's request that he abstain from premarital sex until they got married. Brown recounted how his mother-in-law privately appealed to him with the plea, \"Do not have sex with your girlfriend until you get married.\" Brown stated that he took the request seriously, viewing it as an act of obedience to God. He explained that his decision to abstain from premarital sex was influenced by his desire to honor God, as he believed obeying the rule of chastity before marriage would make it easier to trust God with future marital demands. Brown emphasized that he did not abstain from sex to protect his wife, but rather to honor God and make a conscious decision to remain sexually abstinent until their wedding day. Brown said, \"So it was on that baseline I just decided that, okay, if truly God is going to do something because we did not have sex before marriage, well, let me just take a chance. Not as if I've never had sex before, it's not such a big deal.\" The couple's revelation comes as they mark 15 years of marriage. Brown reflected on the decision to abstain from sex before marriage and the role his mother-in-law played in influencing that choice.",
