1147 - Can Your Marriage Recover After Porn Addiction?

I fundamentally believe that the biggest issues we have in our society is because as a culture and as a people, around the world but especially in the western part we have lost our value for family the traditional home husband and wife kids husbands that you know that labor and provide women that maintain the home nurture the kids kids that grow up with parents together both present on an emotional physical and spiritual level i think we've lost our value for that marriage is kind of just a next step in a relationship it's not a covenant people don't see it that way And and then I think, you know, divorce has become so commonplace.

You know, kids are seen as a burden by a lot of society.

It's kind of wild where we are in some of these core philosophies.

But it also explains, honestly, some of the major issues that we do have with kids not really knowing their identity and their worth and all the kind of transgenderism stuff that comes with it.

So many questions around sexual orientation and whatever else.

Much of it rather, in my opinion, stems from our loss of value for the family unit.

Which is why I'm doing this episode today on marriages.

Because I have seen pornography addiction.

wreak havoc on marriages in so many different ways.

And it's one of the many, many reasons that sexual sin is so insidious.

It's why the enemy works overtime to trip you and I up in this area.

It's not just so that he can destroy us personally, even though he's obviously on a mission to do that, but he wants to destroy our marriages because he understands that the society we live in will crumble if enough marriages fail.

And we're seeing that happen in our world real time today.

So not to put too much pressure on this, but when we're talking about saving your marriage, when we're talking about healthy practices for your marriage, and when we're talking about broaching the subjects around pornography and sexual immorality in the context of a marriage, we're actually talking about the greater good of society.

And truthfully, and I don't mean this hyperbolically, I actually believe this with conviction in my heart, making the world a better place.

That's what we're actually doing today.

Okay, so this is a big deal.

And I'm really excited to jump into the listener questions, but I'm just going to kind of preface it with a little bit of material just to kind of give you guys some things to think about.
