Russell Wilson and Ciara are one of the more recognizable couples in the NFL landscape. They’re also known for practicing abstinence until they got married.

Wilson told a San Diego pastor, Miles McPherson, that they were being abstinent, and why (via Billboard):

“She was on tour, and I was looking at her in the mirror, and God spoke to me,” Wilson told the pastor. “He said, ‘I need you to lead her.’

“I told her, ‘What would you do if we took all that “extra stuff” off the table, and just did it Jesus’ way?'” the quarterback continued, clarifying that yes, he was “talking about sex.”

Wilson said the 29-year-old singer “completely agreed,” though he admitted that refraining from sex wasn’t easy. “I ain’t gonna lie to y’all now — I need you to pray for us,” he told the congregation. “I know y’all have seen her on the screen. If there’s a 10, she’s a 15.”

The two got married on Wednesday in England, and took to Snapchat to brag about the sex they were having:

Congrats on the sex, even though it’s really nobody’s business!
