If you have been here any length of time, you know our story. I’m not trying to beat a dead horse, but broken wives need to know that they are not alone. God is the mender of brokenness. There is hope, and there is healing.

Pornography Wrecked My Godly Marriage, Now What?

 

Our story started over 21 years ago in a high school Spanish class. It involved a friend who played matchmaker and an ultimatum.

However, on a quiet Sunday evening, my husband confessed to me that he had been in heavy battle with his struggle with pornography and had been for two years. While that night started healing for him, it completely shattered my life, my dream, and my “godly marriage.” And it ripped the Band-Aid off of my old insecurities.

 We are not alone.

The thing is, it’s not just my marriage suffering. Although it feels like it, we are not alone. Sadly, there are thousands of women suffering silently….
