Episode Description:

In this powerful episode, we explore why pornography addiction recovery often leaves couples feeling stuck — even after the behavior stops. If you’re a husband who’s no longer watching porn but still feels attacked or discouraged when your wife brings up the past, or a wife who still feels pain, confusion, and fear even though he says he’s changed, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn why healing from porn addiction is about more than just stopping the behavior. True porn addiction recovery requires repairing the emotional meaning behind the betrayal, rebuilding emotional safety in marriage, and learning how to respond to each other in a way that fosters connection — not shutdowns, not avoidance, and not silence.

We break down:

• The emotional disconnect that happens after the behavior stops

• Why your wife still brings up the past, even if he’s “doing everything right”

• The difference between quitting pornography and rebuilding trust

• How to navigate painful conversations without spiraling into shame or defensiveness

• What wives need in order to feel seen, understood, and emotionally safe

• How husbands can support healing without feeling like they’re “never enough”

• Why stopping porn isn’t the finish line — it’s the starting point for emotional repair and real connection

If you’re trying to heal your marriage after porn addiction, this conversation will help you understand each other more deeply — and move forward with clarity, compassion, and real tools.

This episode is packed with practical insight for anyone navigating marriage after betrayal, porn addiction in marriage, and the painful gap that can remain even after someone has stopped watching pornography.
