Dear Bishop,
As a woman, one month ago I lost a sense of control over my life when the depth and
breadth of my husband's pornography problem came to light. I felt powerless to
an onslaught of fear and anxiety that filled nearly every aspect of my
life, as things hung precariously with my husband's work and the issue
of trust in our relationship. I heard this situation described once as:
WoPA Letter 15 - My Story
“Isn’t this the whole point?” my seminary teacher asked our class from the depths of his soul, “to draw close to Him, so close that one day we will see His face…” that was the moment that my life changed forever. I had been meeting with the Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, attending 6AM seminary with some friends before school for my last 2 months of High School, and I knew that joining the church was what I needed to do. I longed to be closer to my Savior, to make a better life, to serve and bless other people. I saw right away that through the Church, I could do all of that. I could be closer to my Savior. I NEEDED to be closer to Him. I had a sober mind for an 18 year old.
WoPA Letter 14 - My Story
I first learned of my husbands’ pornography addiction in 2003, after two kids and six years of marriage (of course at the time I didn’t know it was an addiction). Walking into our computer room that night is an image I can never erase from my mind.
WoPA Letter 13 - My Story
My husband has been addicted to porn for over 25 years. Before we got married, he told me that he had issues as a teenager, but we both agreed that it was over. He served an honorable mission without any issues, and we were convinced that getting married would alleviate any need for porn/masturbation.
