Gospel musician Florence Obinim says women eye her husband too much even when they know that he is a married man of nine years. �I am a woman and I know when another woman eyes my husband lustfully and the worst part is that this happens right at church� the gospel musician told Showbiz last Sunday. According to the 33 year-old woman, she used to be worried and even picked quarrels with her husband, Bishop Daniel Obinim, founder and general overseer of international God�s Way Church at the beginning of their marriage. �I know my husband is a good-looking young man so naturally he will be an attraction to women but the rate at which they were after him was just too much. I felt insecure even though I knew he loved me very much�. For now, however, Florence Obinim says she is no more worried about other women eyeing her husband because she has come to realise that the women would never put a stop to it no matter what she does. She said that it is her husband for whom she prays that he would never fall victim to the women�s approaches. �I have grown past allowing certain things worry me. I must confess I was having sleepless nights during the initial stage of our marriage because I was afraid of losing him to another woman but now I no longer worry my head because I have grown in the Lord�, she said. Speaking about a comment she once made regarding the high rate of marriage failures among female gospel musicians, the mother of three said most female gospel musicians are unable to stand firm when they encounter problems in their marriages. Using herself as an example, Florence Obinim said she never allowed her husband�s controversial visit to a radio station last year to bother her too much at a time when everyone was bashing her husband. �It would have been difficult for my other colleagues to come out of this crisis but I just prayed to God for direction and everything was just fine in a short time�. Florence Obinim described her husband Bishop Daniel Obinim as a wonderful husband. The Osoro Ne Mefie hitmaker told Showbiz that people are often surprised how she has been able to stay with her husband for nine good years despite controversies surrounding him. �It takes a strong and courageous woman to handle marriage problems especially when you are in the limelight.I can say for a fact that nothing will let me lose my husband. I was not a star when he met me but I am who I am today because of him. He is a God-fearing young man and I love him dearly� Florence said.
