Hi I am new to this group but I had to say this. If you try to do it on your own you may succeed. But if you look to christ you WILL succeed. Take your problems to him and ask him to to give you the wisdom and he will. Ask him to help your husband and he will. You are NEVER alone! Work first on your relationship with Jesus and all other things will work themselves out. Pray with your husband if you can, pray for him if he is not willing. Always remember Rena to Jesus you are the most beautiful women in the world. He always loved you and will always love you. Keep that though close to your mind and heart. replect on it when you feel down and it will give you strength.

My prayers will be with you as well.

[quote="doc marten"]I believe the root cause of all addictive behaviors is the same: an inability or unwillingness to do the work of finding fulfillment and joy in God and in those God-blessed and -ordained relationships like family and friends. Men turn to porn for the same reason women turn to food--because it's a lot quicker and easier to make the body feel good than to do the hard work of maintaining a relationship. The way I see it (and I have addictive tendencies) is that addiction = laziness.[/quote]

Thats one of my major struggles as well. Laziness. Apathy to a smaller degree. Porn tends to start small. I found with myself anyway. God gave us the desire for the oposite sex and the devil exploits it to take our focus off of Christ. He gives us somthing to look at other than our relationship with each other and God. This temptation is the oldest one in the book. Even godly men and kings have fallen pray to sexual desire and immorality, I mean look at Kind David! The cycle is made worse when a peson feel guilty. The pleasure derived from the sexual stimulation often times is the only pleasure a truly addicted person feels through all the guilt. The more depressed the person becomes the worse the addiction becomes until you get the situation your in now. He more than likely feels usless as a man, and is very depressed. Your prayers and ours may help him to find the strength to admit his problem. Once that step is taken then the healing can begin.
