Hope For Wives

Episode 2: D-Day (I just discovered my husband has a pornography addiction, now what?)


Listen Later

In this episode we discuss Discovery Day, one of the most painful days in the life of a wife who discovers her husband has been viewing pornography or is compulsively acting out sexually. The day of discovery is typically called D-Day, because just like the Normandy Beach invasion during WWII, this day is full of death, wounding, and trauma.

D-Day is not the end of the story, though! We will leave you with hope. Your hosts are: Pam Blizzard of Recovered Peace Lyschel Burket of Hope Redefined Bonny Burns of Strong Wives

We will be discussing:

  • What comes to mind for each of us personally as we think of Discovery Day?
  • What patterns do we see in partners immediately after discovery?
  • What is the best thing a wife can do for herself immediately after discovering her husband's problematic sexual behavior?
  • What hope can we leave our listeners with?
