A Nigerian woman identified as Confidence Maye Utomi has recounted how God gave her a virgin husband five years after she lost her own virginity.

In a Facebook post shared on Friday, November 13, the sexual purity advocate revealed that after losing her virginity, she never thought or expected that she would end up marrying a virgin man.

Confidence, who mentors girls and young women on the possibility of sexual purity, said she later came to understand that her past was over and decided not to allow it to shape the future God had for her.

The mother of one noted that she owned up to her mistakes, repented, and dedicated herself to living a life that honours God.

She, however, pointed out that virginity does not truly define a person’s character, and that sexual history alone does not show whether someone can love, honour, respect, and build a godly marriage.

In her words, past mistakes should not be allowed to limit anyone’s future, and people should not write themselves off from the good things God can still do in their lives.
