The 3 Truths That Saved My Life
I entered a Pure Desire group hoping for some accountability and a couple new acquaintances. I left with three truths that saved my life, having settled deeply into my soul.
A Day In The Life Of A Betrayed Spouse: Healthy
After my husband works on his group homework, we take time to snuggle on the couch and watch a show. I love this time with him. It hasn’t always been this way. We are learning how to be in relationship—open, honest, and vulnerable—one day at a time.
The True Power of Gratitude
Throughout Scripture, we find the authors turning their pen to describe the greatness and the goodness of God, inspiring gratitude in their lives. We can learn from them!
A Day In The Life Of A Betrayed Spouse: Unhealthy
He’s finally awake. How can he sleep so well after everything he’s done? He’s in the shower. What excuse could I make to go into the bathroom to make sure he’s only showering and not masturbating? I should make sure his coffee is ready, so he doesn’t have to stop for coffee on the way to work. So many young girls work at the coffee stand. I don’t want him to be tempted.
A Day In The Life Of An Addict
My alarm goes off. I hit snooze. I hit snooze again. Funny. My day starts with procrastination.
My PD Group Experience
My road to recovery started on the evening of August 11, 2011, when I was busted in my sin by my wife. I remember the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach and the cold wave of terror that washed over me—for the first time in a long time, no idea what was going to happen next.
Good Sex, Good Marriage?
I often hear people say that what goes on in the bedroom is a good indicator of where your relationship is at. While there is some validity to this statement, I know plenty of couples, including myself at one point, who have great sex but not a great marriage.
A Star Is Born: A Pure Desire Review
A Star of Born is an accurate portrayal of how the effects of addiction and childhood wounds can overshadow all our talent and blessings. Addiction affects every part of an addict’s life–especially the people who love them.
Is Porn Adultery?
The topic of lust and pornography is never easy to navigate in a marriage relationship. But for those couples who are willing to face the struggle openly and honestly, the journey is truly life-changing.
Phone Calls in a Messaging World
Phone calls are outdated, right? Why yes, yes they are. But just because something is outdated doesn’t mean it’s lost its value.
Porn on the Brain
Pornography use alters our brain. It creates a false sense of relationship through imagination and fantasy, inhibiting our ability to form intimate connections with real people. Pornography is a myth.
Scheduling Sobriety
So, what was it that I needed? Through spending time with friends and hearing their wisdom, I figured out that I needed a plan. And not just any plan—I needed a plan that was scheduled out and prepared way before boredom and alone time had the chance to team up against me.
