Summary

The best perk of this podcasting gig is getting to connect with the listeners here. Seriously, I cannot wait until there is a time when we can all meet in person again! Every email, comment, review, DM, that I get means so much. Over the years I've heard your successes and your struggles, and one in particular pained me to not know how to personally address. And that is, ways to reconnect after porn use in marriage. When Darcy Spafford, a regular member of this community, reached out to discuss this topic I was thrilled. She is a homeschooling mom of 8 kids who has been married for almost 20 years. After navigating pornography in their marriage for the majority of that time, her and her husband now share openly to help couples reconnect after porn use in their marriages. Honestly, her tips for rebuilding could serve every relationship - porn use or not. Her message of hope is that once she handed responsibility back to her husband, she felt powerful again. Through working on herself, finding her own happiness again, she says "It's so much easier to love someone else when you love yourself." Tune in for her other tips and to learn how their marriage is right now. About a few other things...
