Discovering a pornography addiction can be one of the biggest challenges for a marriage or relationship. Porn not only effects the brain and beliefs of the user, but also the identity, and feelings of trust and safety of the partner. There is much literature out there for the addict or user of porn to help start his/her recovery, but there is not nearly as much out there regarding helping the spouse or partner of the user understand how they have been effected, and how they can begin to heal.
