Alright! My last post on the issue of porn and marriage has created quite the stir! Â 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. Â I hopefully unpack in a logical and understanding way how porn hurts a couple and their ability to experience legitimate intimacy.

I’m just going to copy & paste my comment from yesterday:
My husband ruined our 19 yr marriage by getting hooked into internet pornography and masturbation 7 years ago. It has cost us everything for his immediate gratification habit. It’s been 7 years and our marriage has been ruined. God says your body is not your own, it is the Temple. Would you really be having internet sex knowing that your body belongs to God? It’s like God having sex with porn. This is not pleasing to God’s Eyes. When that person has sex with himself, can he/she really not have any shame or guilt afterwards?
I hate the Porn industry, and I hate what it did to our marriage. I would be on vacation with my husband and kids this week, if he had not gotten hooked onto porn.
I wish we could go through a MRI, but can’t afford it. We have been divorced emotionally ,physically and spiritually for years, but can’t afford the “official papers”. This is what Porn did to our marriage!
Thanks for your frankness and honesty Elizabeth. I know you’re hurting and I hope you got my email about calling Wendy. We do have options for couples. Wendy’s number, in case you didn’t get it, is 832.381.4374.

Oops…forgot to say great post! Looking forward to your next one.
I agree completely that pornography addictions for husbands are not about our wives, but about our own shortcomings.
All of our shortcomings are always about us
Unfortunately, we never have the excuse to blame others for our issues.
rried and in love and good sex life from 1979 to 1999 when my husband got into online prin and chatting secretly with women.
OUR MARIAGE IS OVER.it nev recovered. be forwarned. i worked and wrked to stay at leas friends but it was too ugly to me.
A long strong mriage tossed in a dirty gabage can because of a husband who was raised to think ‘Sastisfy every whim’ by a bad mother.
I came from a family of strong character. 54 year old..lost
Thanks for your honesty Gina, this is what I keep trying to tell people who want to goof around with porn. Porn degrades the spirit and what used to work to turn someone on no longer does so they degrade to even worse behavior like chatting with women online. I’m sorry for your pain but know that when you fix your eyes on Jesus, he brings healing and restoration to your soul!
