I just read a great article on the Covenant Eyes website about women who are affected by porn called "My Drug & His Poison: My Boyfriend Was Hooked On Porn". Men should read this and learn. Women should read it and be prepared. I thought it was excellent how she brings up the part of how her boyfriend became her drug; how she depended on her boyfriend to be everything to her, particularly in ways that only God can be for us. It is a great example of how we must not expect those we date and marry to never fail us, or hurt us. Only God can accomplish that. Granted, pornography abuse is much different than many other issues a couple will face. But because so many men are affected by pornography at some level, women have to learn how to deal with it properly so they do not make the matter worse with their boyfriends or husbands, and so they can have a positive approach to resolving and healing the problem.
Pornography does kill love and relationships and marriages and families. But it is possible for many men to be delivered from this enslavement. Women really need to learn how to be a help to the man they love to get past this problem, if at all possible, and believe that the relationship can be salvaged if it is worked on together. Women are repelled by the idea of men involved with and affected by pornography, and for good reason. But don't be quick to pull away from him.
Click here to read the article. It is well written on this subject.
