I'm a man.
There was a period of time when I didn't want to go to church. I used the excuse that I was sleepy until they started calling me "Sleeping Beauty". Then I told them that I didn't understand the pastor who speaks Spanish so they got an interpreter.
But while I was at home, little by little an urge to pray started building up in me. I had a stronger and stronger desire to pray for people in Central America. So I started praying and then I started going to church. Eventually my desire to go to meetings exceeded that of my wife, and now it's the other way around: I find myself tugging my wife along and sometimes going without her.
The only explanation that I have for my change is God's influence perhaps prompted by people praying for me.
