A Christian blogger is receiving a lot of attention for a fashion choice. She may have used the follwing as reflection for her choice:
Matthew 5:28 ESV But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Veronica Partridge says she has decided to stop wearing leggings or yoga pants to honor God.
In a blog post, she says “When women wear them it creates a stronger attraction for a man to look at a woman’s body and may cause them to think lustful thoughts.”
Partridge says she spoke with her husband, who admitted that it is hard not to look at women wearing leggings.
“If it is difficult for my husband who loves, honors, and respects me to keep his eyes focused ahead, then how much more difficult could it be for a man that may not have the same self-control? Sure, if a man wants to look, they are going to look, but why entice them? Is it possible that the thin, form-fitting yoga pants or legging could make a married (or single) man look at a woman in a way he should only look at his wife?” her post says.
Here is what she and her husband said on Good Morning America:
