In an age where most marriages end in divorce, it takes a couple intentionally investing in their marriage to beat the odds. Our kids have watched us going to marriage retreats, participating in marriage classes, teaching marriage curriculum and attending home fellowships since they were small. This year they joined us with their spouses (and 1st grand baby) at the Ritz Carlton Naples for our annual Marriage Retreat. We are so excited to see the next generation carry the torch!

But it’s not hurting anyone else, is it? October 12th, 2023

Pornography viewing/addiction can have significant effects on a relationship.
Here are some of the potential effects of pornography viewing/addiction on a marriage:

Decreased Intimacy: Pornography addiction can lead to a decreased desire for physical intimacy with one's partner. Individuals addicted to pornography may find it difficult to connect with their spouse on an emotional and physical level.
Unrealistic Expectations: Pornography often presents unrealistic depictions of sexual encounters and idealized body types. This can lead to dissatisfaction within the marriage, as one partner may compare their spouse to the images and scenarios they've seen in pornography.
Communication Breakdown: A pornography addiction can result in a breakdown of communication within the marriage. The addicted partner may hide their habit, leading to a lack of trust and transparency in the relationship.
Emotional Distance: Emotional distance can develop when one partner is preoccupied with pornography. This can lead to feelings of neglect and loneliness for the other spouse.
Decreased Sexual Satisfaction: Pornography addiction can lead to sexual dysfunction within the marriage. Some individuals may struggle with erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation due to desensitization from excessive pornography use.

It's important to remember that this can be a complex issue that requires professional help and support to overcome. If pornography viewing/addiction is negatively affecting a relationship, seeking couples therapy and individual therapy for the addicted partner can be beneficial. Open and honest communication is crucial for addressing the issue and finding solutions that work for both spouses. Recovery from pornography addiction is possible, but it often requires time, effort, and a willingness to change.
