Watching this captivating video stirs up painful memories of the recent end of my 4 year relationship. My beloved partner chose to depart, leaving me with an unyielding ache. Despite my relentless efforts to reconcile, I find myself grappling with frustration and an inability to envision a future without him. Despite attempts to purge him from my mind, I remain haunted by his absence, feeling compelled to express my longing here.

Great teaching

I wish all men took this approach 😞

Christ says if we look at another woman to lust after her, we've committed adultery with her in our heart. If we love Christ and being loyal to his high standard, we will easily look the other way when attractive women are around. Celebrate your victory over the flesh daily by only having eyes for your wife. Also communicate with your wife what you enjoy seeing her looking like - what she wears, how she does her hair, her nails, etc.- if you have a Godly wife, she will seek to please you and you will have even less temptation for looking at anyone else.
Definitely cannot look at pornography. It changes your brain into an addictive state, proven by research. Also proven this brain change can be reversed if you stop viewing it for a length of time.

My husband‘s hidden addiction has destroyed our 21 year relationship. The magnitude of this fallout is devastating to entire families. It literally changes the whole way the addict goes through life, and looks at and treats people. Manipulation, psychological, and emotional abuse connected as well. No one talks about that.

Thank you for this!

[@consuelorodriguez4130]

Thanks for sharing this, I am a huger, but I will be careful with this. I just love my brothers and I don't do it with bad intentions at all. My heart is humble but the others might not be.😢 Thanks.

So why did God make it so difficult for men with this? I understand we will all struggle as humans but the level he put on men to be sexualy pure is beyond any struggle I've seen. Every man on this planet struggles with this in some form or another I am just trying to understand why God made this such a struggle for men?

[@summerjoy247]

It’s disheartening 😞

[@JCamilo1974]

That's why you need to be born again so you can repent and be sanctified. Have Godly sorrowful repentance.

So what can I do to make my husband stop watching porn he sneaks watching it when I'm around and when I'm not around. He lies about it I don't trust him and also with female coworkers at work. I'm hoping to go to counseling we need help like yesterday. I'm tired 😢 God sees and knows everything.

[@brebeufgarcia1090]

Never talk to much to your wife. Just give her everything you promised Jesus you'll give her.

[@kimmaclean3234]

What? Never talk too much to your wife????????

[@Cloude710]

What does that even mean?
