Porn and marriage

Porn and marriage. It’s overwhelming. (Just take a glance at the stats here: https://www.covenanteyes.com/pornstats/)

Years ago when I started I started doing pre-martial counseling asked “Has porn affected your relationship?”. Now I ask “How much has porn affected you and your relationship?”

It’s deeply painful and pervasive.

It can make marriage, or even the hope of getting married, feel so hopelessly broken. Or it just kills all feeling, leaving just emptiness and death of spirit. It’s hard to know where to start.

The bravest and best place is with the truth.

It’ll be the fight of your life. Be brave. Freedom is possible. You might be able to go through the motions of working on your marriage and have this destructive area in your marriage and heart for years or already have.

But don’t you want more? For the both of you?

There was a marriage book that Julie and I read 25 years ago called Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts by Les Parrott.

I know this video just scratches the surface but tonight I want to challenge you to Save Your Marriage Before You’re Caught.

If it’s been a part of your life, since you were young, you won’t fix it overnight but you can begin tonight.

For your sake.

For your spouse’s sake.

For love’s sake.

This is a video on porn and marriage I made as part of a month of daily videos on marriage on Facebook a few years ago.
