We got married young and it felt like we were launching out of a starting gate with other couples we knew who got married around the same time. As the years have gone by, one of the hardest things to hear is when one of the couples we care about has fallen to sexual sin and some have even chosen to get a divorce.It's a sad reality that many marriage partners struggle against the pull of pornography. This sin is wreaking havoc on the trust and intimacy of the marriage relationship. Based on statistics, it's a sure thing that some couples listening here or sitting next to us in church are walking wounded because of this sin that is damaging their marriage.That's why we are so grateful to have Dannah Gresh join us for this episode. She shares her own story of heartbreak and marriage in her book, Happily Even After. Dannah is the co-host of the Revive Our Hearts podcast, a speaker, a best-selling author, and a wife who has experienced the power of God to redeem her marriage.In this episode, you'll hear:The physical and neurochemical impacts of pornographyWhy this is not an issue exclusive to menHope for healing and redemptionAnd more!We hope you enjoy this conversation!Show Notes: https://growinghometogether.com/dannah-gresh-81

This week on Real Talk with Rachael I'm chatting with someone whose words changed my life, Dannah Gresh. Dannah is the founder of True Girl, bringing moms and daughters closer to each other and closer to Jesus, and co-host of the Revive Our Hearts podcast. Dannah has authored over 27 books including And the Bride Wore White, Lies Young Women Believe (with Nancy Leigh DeMoss) and Lies Girls Believe. More than 20,000 leaders and 100,000 moms have taught her curriculum and over 500,000 people have attended her live events and retreats. Dannah and her husband, Bob, live on a hobby farm in central Pennsylvania. They have four adult children and four grandchildren. Key Points from Our Conversation: Dannah wrote Happily Even After about her and her husband's experience after he revealed an addiction to pornography - a more common problem than we typically believe, even in established marriages. It's easy to be upset with our spouse's actions, but they're often not personal, rather they are a coping mechanism learned in childhood. Sexual addiction can be as addictive as drugs because of the way our brains respond to the stimulant. Shame will wreak havoc in our relationships. James 5:16 tells us, "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." If you want true intimacy in your relationship, it will require facing hard truths. As Christians, we believe that our marriage should reflect Jesus' love for the church. We are uniquely that picture when we choose to play the role of Jesus in forgiving our spouse. When we seek comfort through "forbidden fruits" like porn, drinking, or overeating, it's an alert that we are not finding our satisfaction in Christ. Find a Christian counselor to talk to and dig out the root of the lie that you're choosing to believe and hold it to the truth of Jesus. Sometimes it takes setting hard boundaries in order for people to recognize the depth of their actions and the effect they're having on others. If you are in a relationship that is affected by a pornography addiction or infidelity, you are not alone. Though you do need to give grace while setting difficult boundaries, you also have to tend to your own heart. If you are waiting on your spouse to heal you're heart, you've got things out of order - only God can heal you. One essential truth your relationship will need to survive is that trust is a gift you choose to give. It can be built by consistent action over time, but ultimately you must choose trust. Let's Get Real Practical: If you're holding on to a sexual secret, get help from a professional so that you can be set free.

If you're having a party, Bob Gresh is the guy to invite. (Dannah might be studying, though.)

You can stop comparing, competing, and campaigning. Replace the lies and labels in your life with God's Truth.

In the wake of porn addiction, where you do turn? How do you rebuild trust after such intimate, searing betrayal? Authors Bob and Dannah Gresh share the pervasive realities of their own heartache—and their own rocky path toward healing. Scripture warns us not to trust in other people. We're only supposed to trust in the Name of the Lord our God. That's who we trust. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him.” What this is saying is that I can trust God with what's happening in my marriage, even when I can't trust Bob. So, I'm going to put all my trust in God. -- Dannah Gresh Show Notes and Resources Connect with Bob and Dannah Gresh at dannahgresh.com/ or on Instagram @dannah_gresh Buy Dannah's book Happily Even After on our shop Listen to Bob and Dannah's podcast, "Happily Even After", where they talk through the redemption and healing from addiction that they've experienced in their marriage.

SCRIPTURES  But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Ephesians 5:3 NIV Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 NKJV “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:19-20 NKJV Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be alert with all perseverance and every request for all the saints.

Is happiness possible in a marriage when there has been pornography and broken trust? Dannah Gresh has personal insight on the topic of “Happily Even After.” Married 33 years, this bestselling author and podcast co-host spent 30 years studying sexual theology and sexual social science, but academia could not prepare her for discovering that her husband had relapsed into his decades-old pornography addiction. For Gresh and her husband, the process of forgiveness and recovery was fraught with failed attempts and discouraging days, but also discovery. They found that recovery requires redemption because pornography is a sin issue, and that God intended to use even this for His glory. Today Gresh and her husband inform others about the devastation of pornography and share the process by which God can heal and empower restoration in life and marriage. Whether you struggle or know someone struggling with pornography, you will be encouraged by Gresh's direct, realistic, and redemptive testimony.

There may have been a time when pornography seemed like just "a guy issue"; something that all guys do. However, we now know that pornography affects the body and brain similarly to heroin.Dannah Gresh experienced what many spouses are experiencing today when her husband, Bob, confessed his sexual and porn addiction. Although he was in ministry and did not want to hurt his wife, there was no other way to confess.Dannah wavered between hurt, self-loathing, and anger. She settled on the fact that she made a commitment to her husband before God to love him 'for better or for worse' and was committed to help Bob find healing.I sat down with Bob & Dannah to discuss their story, which culminated in her new book, "Happily Even After:  Let God Redeem Your Marriage". This is one of the most vulnerable and transparent interviews I've experienced. Because of their willingness to allow us to look into those areas of their life, I believe countless marriages can find the healing that they are experiencing.------------------------FROM THE SHOW:Get Dannah's Book!https://amzn.to/417KZihRebecca's Website:https://dannahgresh.com/Happily Even After Podcast:https://open.spotify.com/show/1al4PzAf04JvZx3PCnh4IiFollow Rebecca:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dannah_gresh/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dannahgresh.truegirlSupport the show----------------------------------------MORE ABOUT THE PODCAST:Behind The Mike website:https://BehindTheMikePodcast.comEmail:Mike@BehindTheMike.netSUPPORT THE SHOW"Buy Me a Coffee"SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:Sponsor a Child Through Compassion:compassioninternational.sjv.io/XYxJg4Covenant EyesGet 30-days FREE using promo code: BEHINDTHEMIKEhttps://covenanteyes.comWatch these podcasts on YouTube!Follow Us!FacebookInstagram
