Pastor's wife Holly Ellif has seen far too many marriages hurt by a husband seeking for sexual

fulfillment outside the marriage.

And while a wife is never to blame for her husband's sin, Holly says there are things she can

do to help lessen the temptation for him.

It's very simple to go to God for grace. It's very simple to go to God for grace.

It's much harder to go to God and have to forgive a mistress

or have to go to God and say,

how do I help my husband walk out of this pornography addiction?

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee-Demoss for Thursday, July 13th.

Nancy Lee-Demoss isn't married, so there are some topics that she draws on the help of others to discuss and teach on.

Today is a good example of that. Holly Ellif is a dear friend of Nancy's along with Holly's

husband, Bill. Bill Ellif pastors a church in North Little Rock, Arkansas. If you have young children

within earshot, now might be a good time to busy them doing

something else. Or listen later at Reviverhearts.com. Here's Nancy. Holly, I think you are right,

and I've listened to a lot of women that in this whole area of meeting the husband's physical needs,

that most women who are not wired the way their husbands are cannot fathom why

this matters so much to their husband. And you would say, well, I think many times we don't

realize that there's some cumulative effects that happen when we don't meet our husband's needs.

And we've talked about this in the past sometime on Revive our hearts.

But what happens is every man is going to encounter temptation.

I mean, I don't care if he's on a church staff and in a godly place most of the time.

In the world that we live in, men are going to encounter temptation.
