In reply to KR. I'm so glad. It's wonderful that you are still communicating about it and trying to make progress. I pray that he can focus all of his sexual energy on YOU. Many blessings!

This issue has plagued my marriage for years, causing a distance that we didn’t know how to combat. We have an otherwise strong Christian marriage, but my husband was raised to think this desire for porn images was just part of being a man. I have a background of abuse which unfortunately has limited my sexual expression. Through your blog, we’ve been able to address these issues and have made great strides. I shared this recent article with my husband and it opened his eyes. While he has significantly curtailed his viewing, it was out of respect for my views and not any true feeling of “wrong”. The different reasons for abandoning porn listed in your article made it more meaningful to him. It helped me to see it as his addiction/problem an not equate it to any inadequacies on my part. You other articles have also helped me to “loosen up” and let go of the past. We’re working on the same page now and growing closer. Thank you fir encouraging your followers to broach this matter with open, honest, loving communication.

In reply to bill krill. You sir are absolutely wrong. Porn DOES mess with your brain and it re-programs it and it is hard, very hard, to un-do it. You need to read Pure Desire by Ted Roberts.

In reply to Sharon Mavis. Interesting take. Especially since the men I've known with deep pornography problems were exposed to completely inappropriate material as kids, a terrible thing to do to an innocent child. I wish we could pull everyone out of this madness.

In reply to Delia. Bless you for this testimony! I'm so glad for your marriage. "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God" (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Thanks for being willing to tell your story in hopes of helping others.

In reply to Tamara. Thanks for sharing your experience, Tamara. I'm glad you've gotten out of that. I pray that over time, as you retrain your mind, those images will fade more and more.

The porn user is both the abuser and the abused. As the abuser he needs to understand how he is part of a complex evil that wounds people deeply. As the abused, he needs our compassion and support to escape the clutches.

So true! And I want to say to every man or woman involved in porn: make it stop because it will ruin your relation. My husband ‘did’ porn for years, I knew it but was so embarassed about it that I did ignore it and acted like it was not happening. We looked like a happy couple and we thought so too, but we weren’t! The anger ruined me inside without knowing. Iiked attention from other men and I had an affair. I regretted and told my husband. I also immediately confronted him with bad habbit. In that night we began a long journey with ups and downs. We did THE Marriage Course and got to know each other totally, finally after 17 years together. The porn addiction was completely over. With the great help of God we survived an affair and porn addiction an now we are the happiest couple on earth
