Should a woman date a man who is hooked on porn on this edition of Truth in Love?

I'm Heath Lambert and this is Truth in Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors,

where we seek to provide biblical

solutions to the problems that people face.

One of the most significant problems that our culture is addressing these days is the one of

internet pornography. This is a difficulty that raises all sorts of questions that we have to answer. And one of the things that we want to do on the Truth and Love is a difficulty that raises all sorts of questions that we have to answer. And one of the things

that we want to do on the Truth in Love podcast is respond to the questions that many of you

have. And the producer of Truth in Love, Amy Evenson, is here today to bring one of the questions

that pornography raises about relationships.

One question I think many women have is should I pursue marriage with a man who has an

ongoing struggle with pornography? Yeah, that's an important question because so many men do

have an ongoing struggle with pornography. And I think the answer to that question is clear

and concise. And I think the answer is no. A woman should not date or should not pursue for

marriage, a man who has an ongoing struggle with pornography. Marriage is too important. It's too

exclusive to enter into it with a man who is

cultivating desires for women beyond the one that he would be married to. You need to be in a

relationship with a man who is cultivating exclusive desires for you. And so I think any woman

who is engaged to or is dating a man whom she discovers to be having an ongoing problem, I think they should break up.

I think many women are going to hear that who are in a dating relationship right now with someone who they really care about and think that maybe a breakup would not be the answer to the problem.

That's just what he's struggling with, something that can be changed easily.

Can you expound more on why should be a breakup if he is struggling with it?

Yeah, that's a great question.
