Women

One day, after 11 years of marriage, my husband came home from work and told me that he had been suspended for a day without pay for viewing pornography at work. His only reason for telling me was because I handle the budget and I would have noticed that his paycheck amount was less. His boss even offered to help him hide it from me, which is disturbing. I was completely blindsided. 

Have you ever felt alone? I mean, really alone? Like there’s no one in the world who can help you with the grief or trauma you’re facing? There are thousands of women who experience this on a daily basis. They are the forgotten half of the pornography epidemic.

I thrive when I have something that inspires and drives me. You know, something that puts some pep in your step, wakes you up early in the morning, or even sends you to bed early just to be rested to tackle what you get to do that next day.

Have you ever thought that you may be over-spiritualizing, or possibly under-spiritualizing, your struggle with pornography? This question may come as a surprise to you but asking yourself this question and responding accordingly may help you experience the breakthrough you’ve been fighting for. There needs to be a balance, and that can be difficult to find. 

Friendship can be a blessing or a cross. Depending on if you’re talking to an introvert or extrovert, right? No matter who you talk to, friendship is a key part of life and a reality that keeps each of us going strong and as healthy individuals. God made us for companionship and community. These are holy because they’re of God and describe who God made us to be. God desires for everyone to be made holy and to go to heaven, where we will join the community of God’s holy ones!
