#8: Porn is a bigger problem than our culture lets on. Contrary to common thought, marriage won't fix a porn problem. In fact, if you or your spouse enter marriage with a porn addiction, you are 2-3 times more likely to divorce in the next two years than a married couple without a porn habit.
How do you know if you're addicted to porn? Should you ask someone you're dating if they struggle with pornography? What are the next steps to take if you are struggling in this area?
In this episode, we talk with Ted and Amber Shimer. Ted is the founder of The Freedom Fight, a FREE online porn addiction recovery/discipleship program. He and his wife Amber will answer these questions & more!

#6: You and the person you marry will both have things in your past that will affect your marriage. Whether it is an emotional wound, sexual history, debt, insecurities, or trauma, our past experiences affect our current relationships.

Having Sex Before Marriage Is No Big Deal, Right? Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

#4: Gracen prayed and wrote in her journal, "I can't do it anymore. I can't be silent. I have to talk about the potential effects that sexual sin could have on your marriage one day. I have to teach younger women. I have to let them know because of my own personal experience." It takes a unique woman (and a unique husband) to open up about this topic, and Gracen shares insights other married women are hesitant to share. If you regret the sexual decisions you've made, if you find it difficult to maintain sexual integrity, or if you just need some encouragement to trust God, you won't want to miss this episode!
