Pornography is a plaque that is sweeping the nation. It is something that is also very hard to avoid because of the day and age we live in. I have personally known a lot of people that have struggled with it. I have seen tear about families and cause a lot of heartache. Pornography not only affects the person that watches, but also the people they love. My best friend married someone that struggles with addiction to pornography. She has expressed to me multiple times of the struggles that her relationship has. I know it caused her a lot of pain and emotional stress. The hardest part of all of this trying to avoid pornography because it is everywhere. TV, movies, billboards, even commercials contain inappropriate materials and images that cause our brains to react. It is so difficult to keep those images out of your head once they are in there. I have put some thoughts in trying to figure out what we can do to protect our homes from these damaging influences
1) pray always. Pray together as a family and alone. When it gets hard to keep pure pray for the help you need to withstand temptation.
2) spend time together. Have fun with your family and bring a spirit of joy in your home
3) laugh together. Laughter is the best medicine right?
4) forgive. Remember that everyone messes up. No one is perfect and they should not have to be. Be wiling to forgive so when you make a mistake you can also be forgiven.
Pornography is hard to beat, but we can be stronger. We can overcome trails with the help of our family. Marriage is worth effort.
