Alright! My last post on the issue of porn and marriage has created quite the stir!  I love a healthy debate and I appreciate all the people posting comments, even the ones I do not agree with. Here is part two of my interview with Covenant Eyes’ Luke Gilkerson.  I hopefully unpack in a logical and understanding way how porn hurts a couple and their ability to experience legitimate intimacy.

You might be thinking this question is ridiculous and absurd, but it is not. I’ve run in to enough couples in my life as a Marriage Consultant (This is my new term, I love it, but what do you think?) who ask this very question. Sometimes I am the one who has to bring to their attention that it is not healthy or okay to watch pornography with each other. I hear them say, “What’s the big deal if we are watching it together?” My response? “What’s the big deal if you two go and murder someone together?” Just because you do it together, does not mean it is okay to do.

Check out my podcast interview with Luke Gilkerson from Covenant Eyes and listen to why I think it is a bad idea to watch pornography together.  If you have a couple friend who is doing this right now, make sure and forward this post on to them.  They need it.
