About this episode
Pornography affects so many marriages–even Christian marriages. Although porn can be a problem for both men and women, we’re going to spend some time looking at a situation we know many of our listeners can relate to.
Join us for the second of three episodes about a wife dealing with her husband’s pornography use. In this episode, Bonny chats with Chris about what she experienced in her marriage.

From the Bible
“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open,” Luke 8:17.
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8

I would like to comment on something that might be potentially dangerous for women to think as a result of this podcast. Some men may be equally tempted to view porn no matter what the state of your sexual quality is, but this was not at all the case with me. I struggled with porn from age 12 on, and so I came into the marriage with this problem just as most men do. However, when my wife seemed to not want to have sex very often, I couldn’t seem to resist the temptation of porn no matter what I did. Then, when my wife finally got her sexual issues in order and we now have a great sex life, I can honestly say that I have almost no temptation at all. So wives, while the sins of your husband is completely his fault, please don’t be deceived into thinking that your sexual refusal or gatekeeping is having no impact on his ability to overcome porn. In my case it made all the difference in the world.
