PART 2: Pornography, Betrayal, & the Hard Road to Healing
When Jacobβs hidden pornography addiction came to light in our marriage, it completely shattered the trust we had built. What followed was a difficult journey of navigating betrayal, rebuilding trust, and figuring out what healing actually looked like for both of us.
In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, we share what the road to recovery looked like for each of us in practice. We discuss the steps Jacob took to find freedom from pornography, including joining Celebrate Recovery and getting rid of his iPhone, as well as the process of navigating forgiveness, rebuilding trust, and learning to support one another without trying to control the outcome.
Whether youβre the one who has been betrayed or the one who broke the trust, our hope is that this conversation reminds you that youβre not alone, healing takes time, and lasting change is possible. Today, pornography and bitterness no longer have a place in our marriage, and weβre sharing our story because we believe restoration is possible.
