Russell Wilson and Ciara are standing by their plans to abstain from sex until after marriage.

But doing so isn't always easy for at least one of the two.

"It's going pretty good," Ciara told Cosmopolitan. "We're hanging in there. I'm not gonna lie. I'm human, so it is not easy, especially when I look at him and I think he is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen - that I've ever laid my eyes on, to be honest. I'm like, 'Look the other way! Look the other way!'"

Wilson made the couple's abstinence decision public last summer, indicating that God had spoken to him and said he needed to lead Ciara.

"I told her right then and there. What would you do if we took all that extra stuff off the table and just do it Jesus' way … Yeah, we're talking about sex."

"I need y'all to pray for us," he added.
