When a pornography addiction or habit is discovered in a relationship, it causes significant damage.

Trust is broken, there's a lack of emotional safety, and it often causes a woman to redefine the entire relationship and question the past.

Despite the significant damage, couples who get the right tools can fully heal the pain of the past, eliminate pornography use, and move forward with closure and connection.

In this episode I share with you exactly how to move forward through the damage and how husband can be an influence for healing and stability in his.

Most people don’t want to stay in pain any longer than they already have. They want the process to speed up, to find closure and peace sooner, and move forward with a feeling of resolution…

But what if she’s not ready to just leave it all behind?

So many men want to leave the past behind as quickly as possible, because they recognize the impact of their actions has had a tremendous effect on their wife.

He doesn't want her to suffer anymore than she already has, so in his desires to move forward, unintentionally, she feels left behind and her pain gets ignored.

This produces a cycle of her bringing up the past so she can find healing, but the husband sees it as a lack of progress, feels discouraged, and then tries to rush the process along even more.

If you've ever been caught in this pattern, in this episode I share with you one of the most important ways to navigate to move forward quickly while still making sure that the pain she feels is getting the attention and care it deserves.

Have you ever contemplated ending your relationship because of the hurt and pain you’re feeling? 

Or because of broken communication that leads to fights or distance and you're not sure how to repair your marriage, despite everything that you've tried?

You’re not alone.

So many couples get stuck in negative cycles that break down their love and relationship, leading to resentment and distance.

I had the awesome opportunity to work with a couple who reached out right on the brink of divorce after having done multiple programs, therapy, and no matter what they did, it just wasn’t working.

So I knew we had to take a totally different approach, and if you listen back on episode 108 - I actually took you behind the scenes and recorded a session that this couple and I had together so you could get a sense of how these tools apply to a difficult, real life situation.

So in less than 3 months, this couple went from almost getting divorced to feeling so excited and connected in their relationship.

And this episode today is a conversation I had with them where they share how they got there, what were the most helpful things they did on the journey, how he created safety in their marriage, and the totally different way they learned to process the triggers that used to cause arguments in the past.

When a man struggles with pornography, addiction or habit, it’s devastating to his wife.

She will express her hurt and pain to him hoping that the behavior will stop, but when it continues to happen, it creates hopelessness and despair.

In those moments, it's easy for her to interpret the situation as ‘he doesn’t love me or care about me, what’s why he keeps doing it.’

When that is how she interprets his behavior, that creates even more pain in her heart.

But what if there was a different way to understand this situation and why he’s doing this?

In this episode, I share one of the best ways I’ve seen couples navigate this issue, develop a stronger bond between each other, and create closure from the past.

Imagine what life would feel like if you didn’t have any desire to look at pornography.

You just simply had no interest in it anymore?

What if you just felt “normal” and could just go about your day without worrying about temptations and urges?

Well, it’s possible. And it’s one of the best feelings in the world.

In this episode I want to share with you exactly how you can achieve that and leverage that heart change to create safety and trust in your marriage

How can you achieve this?

The desire for porn will go away when your inner void is filled with something that actually meets your needs.

So many men use porn as a method of filling their internal void, but it just doesn’t work.

In this episode, I share with you three specific examples of clients who had different voids and how they resolved them in a healthy way.
