A few years back, I asked my wife to write me a letter describing how my struggle with sex addiction affected her. The following is her letter:
"You asked me to write a letter about how your addiction affected me. At the time, things were a bit hazy and I was young and didn't know what to think of everything. It really flared my insecurities up. I measured myself up to other women "in your eyes". I was always trying to see what you'd find more attractive in others - where my flaws were. In the beginning of our marriage it was the worst. My insecurities plus your addiction equalled disaster ... more...
Internet Filter
Computers can be a good place for children. This is the place where they can sharpen their agility as well as their abilities. What's more, the Internet provides information for homework assignments.
So far, so good. But they also need to be protected from the computer-for one thing, so that they don't lose their sense of time and forget to go out and play with their friends once in a while, and for another, because of the dangers lurking on the Web. That's why responsible parents everywhere install Child Control Software on every computer that their children use. We recommend "Child Control - Parental Control" more ...

It is a lazy Sunday afternoon. The football game is on TV, the snacks are on the coffee table, and my husband and our 13-year-old daughter are lounging in chairs during a commercial break. The game comes back on, or rather the cheerleaders do....the camera focuses on a barely dressed blonde bombshell. My daughter turns to ask her dad a question about the score, but his eyes are glued to the TV. "Dad, I just asked you who was winning! Did you hear me?" "Huh, what's that? I'm sorry, honey... tell me again?" more...

Porn is an issue today, more than we think. The bible talks a lot about sexual issues, more than we may be aware of, more than we talk about in church.Time to address the issue. Photo: Aboutpixel.de
"The Road to Grace" - Mike Genung
"The Road to Grace", by Mike Genung, one of the best books we have read so far on the issue of porn and porn addiction. It's a book we also recommend for women who do not know how to handle the porn situation with their husbands and/or do not know whom to contact for help.
Mike Genung is direct and clear in what he writes, without going into graphic details as some books tend to do, which give even more ideas for men and women to get into ''things''. Request information on Book: click here
Healing a Broken Marriage From Adultery

Picture taking a 9" stiletto knife, and then plunging into your wife's back, all the way to the hilt. Then as she screams in pain and horror at the recognition that you, her best friend have stabbed her, you say "I'm sorry. Can you please get over this quickly?"
Adultery cuts into the fragile and vulnerable places of the heart causing indescribable pain and trauma... more...
Men and business trips

Businesstrips are always a challenge for me. Often being in the hotel room, tired, hungry and lonesome, with the possibility to watch ''blue movies'' (sex TV channels). Here are a few tips that have helped me to stay clean:
- Ask the hotel reception to centrally turn of the blue movie channel in your room. If this is not possible ask them to remove the TV.
- Stick a family photo of yours on the TV screen. It works miracles : )
- Have your wife phone you a few times in the evening.
- Stay cool and do not fear.
- Pray with your wife before you go on the business trip.

Finding true freedom from sex addiction does not come from working programs, reading books, attending groups, counseling or Bible knowledge. These are valid and important tools God uses as a part of the healing process, but in of themselves they don't set the struggler with sex addiction free. Why? Because until he fills the hole in his soul with something bigger, stronger and more attractive than sexual sin, the gnawing emptiness inside of him will continue to drive him to lust. The spiritual vacuum within must be resolved for true, life changing freedom. In the 9 years I spent in the 12 step program for sex addiction, I got about 4-1/2 years ... more...
www.kids-in-mind.com - Filter films on sex and violence prior to watching them
www.kids-in-mind.com - is an excellent possibility to filter films for sex and violence content prior to watching them. Actually it is a tool intended for parents to guard their kids from watching garbage, but it is also ideal for parents to access what they want to watch. My wife and me filter films once a week when we plan what we want to watch in that specific week and it's a great help. You often used to be frustrated when a filmed seemed to be great and ended up being full of sex and violence, which was not at the beginning of the film.
