I'd also be grateful for your prayers that God would lead and direct this ministry.
"Are you hurting? Pray. Do you feel great? Sing. Are you sick? Call the church leaders together to pray and anoint you with oil in the name of the Master. Believing-prayer will heal you, and Jesus will put you on your feet. And if you've sinned, you'll be forgiven--healed inside and out."
- James 5:13-15, The Message Translation

We celebrated our one year wedding anniversary October 23, 2011. I had known he went on porn sites before we were married, but he had made a commitment that he wouldn't and he hadn't to my knowlege until last night when I walked into the living room and he quickly shut down hia computer. I confronted him and he lied at first and said that he didn't, but then hw admitted that he had been on porn. My heart is heavy and my stomach in knots. I am so worries about our marriage. :( i feel so disgusting. Please pray and what should I do?
Dear Anonymous,
My heart is heavy for you, this is a very painful place to be. I will be lifting you up in prayer!
I think that the first step is to talk to your husband about how you feel and what next steps you need to take, individually and as a couple. Internet monitoring software and Christian counseling are two things that I think are of the essence. If your husband doesn't agree to go to counseling, please seek it out for yourself. It can be expensive, but every dime that I paid was well worth it. (I will research some options for you, my mom is in a Biblical counseling program that can help you find assistance.)
Another step is to read some of the books I listed in the resources tab of my blog. Because it's hard to talk to a friend or relative about this issue, books become trusted friends.
I know that you likely feel isolated and alone. You aren't, please know that. Jesus knows the pain you're feeling, He never leaves you nor forsakes you. Additionally, there are so many of us wives in this same place, you aren't alone.
There is hope for your marriage and your husband. It's amazing to me that two years later I feel like my husband and I are in a completely different place. It took a lot of time, prayer and work. Just take one day at a time, one moment at a time. Ask God for the wisdom and strength to get through each day.
Praying God's peace for you. I'd love to continue corresponding with you. You can leave more comments here or through my e-mail: info@healingforyourheart.com
Please pray for my son. He has been married for two years and I don't know if his wife knows he is addicted yet. I discovered it when he was a teen and we tried to help him but he just went underground with it. He travels a lot and is not an active Christian. I pray for him all the time that God will set him free. This breaks my heart as a mother, I wish I could do something.
