186: Will Sad and Painful Days in Our Marriage Get Better? Yes, If You Follow This Blueprint

When pornography appears in a relationship, it hurts both people deeply. For wives, the pain and betrayal can feel like being trapped in an endless storm - each bad day stretches out forever, making even good moments feel temporary. Husbands often feel stuck too, wondering if their efforts to change matter when they see their partner still hurting day after day. In today's episode, we'll talk about real ways to deal with those bad days that feel like they'll never end. You'll learn specific steps you can take when the pain feels overwhelming, what conversations actually help both partners heal, and what to expect as you work on fixing things together. There is hope and there are tools that work - even when it doesn't feel that way right now.     For therapy with Sam: I will work with you for 12 weeks to help you eliminate pornography use and resolve the root cause so it doesn't come back.
