Summary

This is the question, "Is it right for me to ask my boyfriend questions about his porn struggles and be his accountability partner?” Porn is one of the biggest issues in marriage but can be difficult to navigate. If one spouse is dealing with porn and is honest about it, where do you go from there? How does the other spouse approach the issue and help? Should you be their accountability partner? It’s also important in marriage to learn how and when to have these conversations. Links/Offers mentioned in this episode: Wired for Intimacy - Book by William H.
