When You Find Out That Your Husband Has a PORN HABIT…

2.  Recognize that porn is an ENEMY to your marriage, and address the issue AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.   Matthew 5:28

The porn industry is a juggernaut.  In fact, they bring in more revenue than all the major television networks COMBINED.  And, they’ve got sinful human nature on their side.  Any of us can fall to this temptation if we aren’t careful.  For years, the porn industry has tried to convince the world that porn is simply a way to spice things up in your relationship or a means to satisfy your sexual appetite.  They want us to believe that it is harmless, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Studies have shown that porn desensitizes us over time, and therefore, it takes more and more to satisfy our sexual appetite.  That is precisely why is detrimental to our marriage.  We are nearly incapable of being sexually satisfied by our spouse when we are ruled by our porn habit.

So, if you find porn on your husband’s computer and he confesses to having a porn habit, it’s important that BOTH of you call porn what it is–sin AND an enemy to your marriage.  You can’t brush it off and act like it will go away on it’s own.  In fact, a porn habit left unchecked often becomes an all out ADDICTION.  Therefore, you both must address it head on and work together to get your husband the help that he needs to overcome his habit.  But, HOW you address his porn issue is extremely important and has a huge impact of the course of his recovery…
