Sadly, many Christian women are struggling with a deep and dark secret in their marriage: Her husband’s addiction to pornography.
Nobody wants to talk about it and a lot of people don’t know how to deal with it. But there is a solution to the struggle you are facing with your husband’s porn addiction.
If your goal is to reestablish a healthy marriage without your husband’s porn addiction, then this tip contains the keys you need to be successful if you want to avoid having to leave the marriage forever.
The big idea behind this tip is: A healthy marriage begins with you, so give God the opportunity to deal with both you and your husband, based on your individual needs.
You may have prayed for your husband to break free from porn addiction, but it didn’t work. Maybe you’ve scolded him for it and he’s just getting defensive about it.
I fully understand your pain But I finally discovered that the key is personal care.
What does this mean? It means, “Do your part to let God heal and strengthen you as you learn and trust that He will deliver your husband.”
Even if you don’t view pornography, ultimately, your husband’s addiction hurts you, your family, your relationship, and ultimately the way you interact with your husband. The reason I say this is because I have been there. After more than 20 years of addiction to pornography, my husband was finally released.
Like you, I tried to change him and make him get over it. I worried about it, but to no avail.
But I realized that I had to forgive myself and my husband. Forgiveness can be challenging, but it is possible if you really want to grow as a wife and strengthen your marriage.
