My husband refuses to discuss his porn obsession. It always ends up in a fight. I have read porn will cause a person to not desire sex. It’s true, its happening to us. We have only been married a year. Im a Christian, he said he wants to be, but isn;t living like he is. I told him lust is adultry, but he said, “We are married, Im not out cheating.” Please help me! Suggestions? Please pray for him?
My heart goes out to Noelle! Pornography really is an obsession and is never in isolation as to it’s effect on others. We have several good articles and videos on this site about it…would he be willing to watch something about it? One of the newest is this one http://powertochange.com/iamsecond/protecting-my-reputation-dvid/
We also have online mentors that would love to pray for you and him, as well as walk this journey with you. Just go to this page and fill out the form and one of them will email you

Thank you Doris, I pray everyday, many times a day, that he will start to see how much this hurts me. He doesn’t feel he has a problem, and its a very sore subject with us. I feel I can’t even bring it up without a horrible fight. It is too difficult to ask him to watch something about it, as I will have to deal with the fallout over it. Sometimes I have to pick and choose the battles.
THank you so much for the website, I will be looking at it shortly. I am also looking at communicating with a mentor on the subject, I need to feel like I’m not alone. I moved to a new area when we got married, have no friends or anyone to confide in, so I feel very much alone. Thanks again for your help!
