Your Marriage Can Win the Battle Against Pornography (Part 1) - Mark and Rosie Makinney

Pornography is a pervasive evil that is toxic to marriages. Research shows that 55% of Christian men look at porn at least monthly, and 1 in 10 view porn at least daily. Mark Makinney points out this is inherently a sin problem, and he describes how viewing porn will hijack your brain. Mark and his wife Rosie also list warning signs that your spouse could be addicted to porn, and then share their own story of Mark’s 25-year addiction and how it impacted their marriage. Rosie describes how, during their recovery process, God enabled her to have hope for the future of their relationship. On day 2, the Makinneys review the different steps needed for the recovery process - disclosure, an impact letter, counseling and accountability, and the need for a safety plan in case the porn addict relapses.

A comment to some Christians who are uncomfortable or shocked that this topic is brought up as much as it is on the platform, y'all need to wake up and realize this is a major problem everywhere, including the church. I myself have been trapped for about half my life addicted, and there is freedom in Christ 🙏🏼 I really appreciated his comment about not being ashamed to admit the struggle, because he gained Christ ultimately 🙌🏼 Jesus makes it all worth it

It's so important to talk about this.

I’d hate to see the numbers of men outside of the church who are addicted!

Hi, friend! We're so glad you are enjoying our podcasts. We're sorry we don’t have the resources to add captions to most of our videos at this time. Our digital team is working on this.

“How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges” Deuteronomy 32:30-43 Two in agreement according to the Word of the Almighty is unstoppable

[@cynthiapolzin315]

Can u send me the information on what kind of help is available for both the men n women on this.

[@focusonthefamily]

Hello, Cynthia. Our counselors regularly assist people in finding healing from sexual addiction, and they’ve posted a Q&A (bit.ly/46X4JIY) that provides some helpful tools for the battle. We invite you to give our counselors a call if you have further questions - they’d be glad to speak with you. The phone number and hours are in the Q&A. Grace and peace to you.

What I needed! I'm living a nightmare and forgot my second husband's to be (while he was to be it) addiction! It's obviously not a joke

Women 50 and younger. I say a more accurate % is more like 45%
