The dreaded and tragic moment so many couples face... Being caught watching porn, finding porn on their phone and/or other sudden ways that the secret comes out are devastating to both parties... With stats showing us that upwards of 70% of Christian men, 25% of Christian women and 56% of pastors watch porn regularly, we must realize that getting caught with porn is a normal and traumatic event that is happening all too often these days...

The sad part about all of this is that it hurts both parties deeply... The man faces an immense shame of being seen in his failure to do "right" and the woman faces immense shame wondering what she did "wrong".  The man faces the reality that his protective layer is gone, he can no longer hide and the depth of his struggle is now known. The woman faces the reality that she doesn't know who she married, her trust is destroyed and she loses any safety she thought she had.

Shawn and Helena share in this episode from their hearts because they have experienced this horrific experience... Shawn was lying and hiding porn from Helena for over a year. When he was finally found out and the truth came out, he was left to find answers to his problems. For Helena, she was rocked by the news, hurt and betrayed. This caused the first 9 months of their marriage to be an uphill battle that they don't want to see couples have to go through!

In this episode, you will learn more about:

-What happens to the man and the woman when this devastation occurs

-What it means to grieve the pain of finding out about your partner's porn addiction

-Letting Jesus into the pain

-Breaking down shame with 5 expert tips

-The results of quitting porn, healing the relationship and coming out of the darkness
