       Before those thoughts can enter our minds, though, we must have been looking at a woman, or women, wrongfully. And this brings up the scope of our eyesight, as men. What are we looking at in regard to our eyes? Are our eyes always going in the wrong direction, looking at a women in a way that we shouldn’t? Where do are eyes lead us when we see a woman at work, or when were out and about, or when were at church? Where are our eyes taking us? You see, if we can practice turning our eyes away from looking at wrong things, we wont let the looks of the woman ever to enter our minds to begin with. We wont have the real life image that we then think about in our minds wrongfully. This is really important for us, as men, to look away or not look at all, and it’s a constant struggle. There is always opportunity, it seems, to sin in this area. But when we make it a practice, it will becomes easier and easier for victory. For married men, sometimes your thoughts and eyes are on another woman, or other women, and they are not on your wife. But your affections should be on your wife alone. If you're looking at other women wrongfully and thinking lustful thoughts about them, you are taking your affections off of your wife. The more and more you do this, you may decide you don't like the way your wife looks anymore.
