I have links to many of them. Use them. In particular, look at the old Traditional Christianity site: married women talking about their husbands, some times with TMI. I’d also strongly advice you to talk to Mychael, Scott’s wife: they write “the courtship pledge”.

On p0rn: all men are tempted by it. Just as they look at that pretty girl. Besides it is cheap (read free) and there are “no emotional consequences”, compared with an affair or running multiple GFs.

The strongest anti porn advice out there is on the PUA sites because you have to be motivated (read horny) to approach. Most men however, are not PUAs: most men get the habit during their teens and twenties when they are being rejected by almost every girl they find cute, and it is a hard habit to kick. It is as hyperstimulating as chocolate.

They are scared to admit it to you because it is a threat point for churchian divorce.

Cure? Pray, be available. Make him sated. The penis does have a latency period.

On the other issue: Many a man has been converted by their wife’s behaviour without her saying a word. So pray some more.

And remember you are not responsible for him: as he is not responsible for you. We will stand before the almighty. All our lies will be stripped away, and we would be alone. But for Christ.

I don’t think it is the wife’s place, and I try not to be his authority, but if the husband thinks he doesn’t answer to anyone then what then? Pray that he stops looking at porn? What about lying straight to the wife’s face? I’ve been trying to figure this out for a long time now, all the while holding my tongue to not bring shame to him. I’ve prayed about it, I’ve spoken with him about it, I don’t know what to do.

I have had very limited reading of that one, which is strange. As a mental health professional telling my story in that system I would have thought it would be credible and get traction.

It is a miserable system.
