Summary
Can your marriage be happy, even after…? Our guest today said that, "About 70% of men in the church are struggling cyclically or addictively with pornography, and about 30% of women. It's time to stop giving the enemy the power of our silence." We completely agree! While this story is not easy to tell, letting light into our darkest places is how we will experience the healing God wants for us.
We are so thankful that Dannah shared her story with us this week. We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
Episode highlights include:
-
The antidote to "I don't even know what to do" about this
-
Does a porn addiction always escalate? And why?
-
Some of the science behind why this addiction is so hard to kick
-
The impact of betrayal trauma on a spouse
