Beyond Broken Vows | Christian Marriage, Adultery, Pornography Addiction, Sexual Betrayal, Intimacy 17 | Is My Spouse A Porn Addict? 13 Clues To Help Expose Compulsive Sexual Behavior
As the wife of a recovering addict, I’ve learned that there were clues displayed by my husband that pointed to addictive behavior. I was aware of his periodic pornography use but didn’t put it together with these behavioral clues to realize that there might be a serious issue. Now that we have been working on our recovery for several years, I have discovered what I either missed or ignored as signs of a porn addiction. We are going to share some information with you today that I wished I had known before it had escalated into compulsive pornography use and serial extra-marital relationships.
We hope this information helps you connect the dots. This is not about getting our spouses into trouble; it’s about getting them out. Freedom is on the other side of hidden sin. Even if you are already aware of addictive behavioral patterns, please be assured that it will not just go away on its own. If left unaddressed, it will always escalate. It is a painful process to come out of addiction, for both spouses, but it is well worth the journey to experience real connection with each other in a marriage based on honesty, trust, transparency, and exclusivity.
So, grab your favorite beverage, get comfy and spend some time with us as we unpack 13 clues that may expose porn/sex addiction in your spouse or yourself so that healing can begin.
We pray this blesses you,
Johnny and Emily
