Podcast Description:

Is your relationship on the brink because of your husband's porn use? If you've said, “If he watches porn again, I’m done” — or you’re a husband who’s trying hard to stop watching porn but keep relapsing — this episode is for you.

So many couples are stuck in the cycle of porn addiction, where trust is shattered and safety feels impossible. The husband feels shame and pressure to never mess up again. The wife feels exhausted and betrayed. And despite trying everything — accountability partners, internet filters, even cold showers — the porn habits keep coming back.

In this episode, I reveal why most porn recovery methods fail — and why porn relapses aren’t just random slip-ups. They're the last domino in a chain of emotional stress, disconnection, and unresolved shame.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your husband’s porn relapse isn’t the root problem — and what is

  • How to stop relying on willpower and start healing from the root cause of porn use

  • What it actually means to “do the real work” to stop watching pornography for good

  • How couples can rebuild trust after porn betrayal — without compromising safety or standards

  • What wives can look for to know if he’s genuinely changing, not just staying “clean”

  • How to set boundaries around the work being done — not just whether he’s “acting out”

    Whether you’re a man trying to overcome porn addiction or a wife who feels like she can’t stay if he watches porn again, this episode will give you the clarity, tools, and hope to move forward the right way.
