Hi, My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry your dealing with this. My husband has had issues our whole marriage. I remember when i first found out and then everytime after that. It's devistating every single time. Their's are alot of helpful people on here. For now all i know to do is pray for you and your husband. Your not alone!
Dear God, Your are so powerful! Your love is transforming! Please don't let our marriage be destroyed by the enemy. Please give us strength to hold on despite hardships. It can be difficult for us wives to continue to presevere when our husbands fall into temptation. Please help us to be strong, to be patient, and to be enduring. Show us how to help our husbands as they strive to overcome masterbation, Porn, and sex addiction. We claim freedom in their lives. We claim your power Lord to restore them and help them never to return to their old ways. We intercede on their behalf and plead these addictions will cease. Protect our Marriage and guide us in Jesus name AMEN!

Hi Mrs. Welcome to BG. I am sorry you are having to deal with this. I have a question. Is it just masturbation or is he also looking at stuff while he masturbates? We need a bit more information to be able to offer some advice or suggestions.

I am going to link you to an article written by the owner of Blazing Grace Ministries. It is long but it deals with masturbation and why it is wrong emotionally and biblically. www.blazinggrace.org/masturbation/

You need to talk to him and I think the article might help initiate the conversation. Be prepared...He will be angry and upset. He sees nothing wrong with masturbation and since it is an addiction he won't take the article well probably.
Your taking this on is going to mean that your relationship is going to be rocky for awhile. Addicts don't like to change and they will do and say whatever is necessary to keep the status quo. Also you must be prepared to change. I don't know of a single couple that has taken on this addiction where the spouse doesn't change along the way too.

For hope, I have gone to this article on BG often: www.blazinggrace.org/ten-words-of-hope/ There's another page for taking action. I know this is hard for you, especially after giving birth to a child. Hormones are all over the place. I would also suggest watching Mike's video which talks about his own struggles with porn and then adultery. Additionally, pray for him and pray that your heart would see as Jesus sees him: a broken vessel which can only be healed by the Lord's love and grace. More later, got to take care of the kids!
