Dear Rick, Pornography has changed the way many people think about sex. Physical intimacy was meant to be an expression of love between a wife and a husband, but for too many couples — even married Christian couples — it has become little more than a selfish and degrading act. Pornography use increases the likelihood of infidelity and contributes to more than half the divorces in the U.S.* Christian men and women have been caught in its clutches, too. Focus on the Family has many resources to help you better understand the impact of pornography and what you can do to save a marriage that’s at risk because of one spouse’s use of porn.
