Welcome to Hope for Wives

With your co-hostesses:

Pam Blizzard from RecoveredPeace.com Lyschel Burket from HopeRedefined.org Bonny Burns from StrongWives.com

Today, we're going to do something a little different. We are inviting some of our professional male colleagues to share on the topic of, "Is it a struggle, a compulsion, or an addiction?"

The root of this topic comes from questions we get most often, "Do I really need a group when he is just struggling?" Or, "My husband refuses to call it an addiction."

What is underneath this question, is her trying to assess, "What kind of help do I need? He's only struggling? Or, is the help I need different because he's addicted?" Your healing looks very similar whether it is a struggle or an addiction because you are healing from the impact of his behavior, not the severity of his behavior.

We are so thankful to the following male colleagues for joining our conversation.

• Jonathan Daugherty of BeBroken Ministries
• Nick Stumbo of Pure Desire
• Clinton Munoz of Restored2More
• Joanna and Matthew Raabsmith of Restoration Marriage
