Lowering your gaze is such a comprehensive protection. And it doesn't just mean lowering your gaze from what is inappropriate. Also lower your gaze from what doesn't concern you, from the faults and private matters of others.

No one found God by pretending to be perfect.They didn't find Him with dry eyes from the shore.They found Him while lost at sea.They found Him on their knees.They found Him with their forehead to the ground. With wet eyes and shattered hearts.Humble. Broken. Helpless, sometimes.

The biggest mistake so many people make is that they don't marry a person for who they actually *are*. They marry a person for what they imagine that person "will become". They marry "potential", not reality, and then they suffer greatly later.
