Love Addiction

Love Addiction

Christian Love Addiction Help

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. – 1 John 4:18

What is love addiction? Those who look for a healthy, long-term relationship understand that the initial “rush” of new love isn’t all there is to a lasting relationship. For those with love addiction, they form a strong need for these intense feelings, so when the strong emotions naturally fade during the course of the relationship, they might become detached, unhappy, and desperate for “the one” who will make them feel “in love.” This can be a problem in many ways, damaging a person’s sense of identity, their relationships, and connection with God. If you can relate to this, then you might benefit from Christian love addiction treatment.

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. – Proverbs 1:8-9

It’s every Christian parent’s dream that their child learns from them and grow into a healthy, Christ-filled adult. Unfortunately, we live in a world that is often against the things of God, making the task of raising godly children seem impossible at times, especially when the challenges of adolescence hits. During these years, it is normal for your teen to become more independent. Even small signs of rebellion are normal. But, if your teen has fallen into risky or harmful behaviors such as pornography use, sexting, chatting online with strangers, and promiscuity, it might be time for help.

Effective Sex Addiction Treatment for Men

Christian Counselor Spokane

Sex addiction is real. In a society that is sexualized in more than a thousand ways, men who suffer from sex addiction are lost in their preoccupying thoughts, ritualized behaviors, shame, and guilt, returning to the same cycle again and again. Men who experience this silent suffering attempt to hide their behaviors and in doing so, they hide themselves from everyone who matters to them, including their partners, friends, children, and themselves. They are disconnected from their spirituality. Though outwardly they may have the look of perfection, inwardly, they fear that they will be found out for their inability to control their thoughts and actions. “A sex addict is also emotionally anorexic –...

Love Addiction

Love addiction is a real and treatable condition that is closely connected to sex addiction. If you turn to sex to make you feel loved or good about yourself, causing you to participate in one-night stands, struggle with infidelity, or hold onto harmful relationships, then you might be struggling with sexual addiction. If this sounds like you, Christian counseling for sexual addiction can help.

Understanding Sexual Addiction

Is sexual addiction real? Despite the controversy, sexual addiction is real and it is treatable. Sex addiction affects over 30 million people in the U.S. including men, women, and teens. So then, what is sex addiction? When do sexual acts cross the line from normal behavior to becoming a problem? Consider the following questions. If you answer yes to any of these, you might have a sexual addiction problem.

  • Are you preoccupied with sex?
  • Does your partner express concern about your sexual behavior?
  • Do you feel your sexual behavior is abnormal?
  • Do you hide aspects of your sexual behavior from your partner?
  • Do you frequently watch pornography or purchase sexually explicit materials?
  • Do you use sexual behavior to change your mood?
  • Do you often feel bad about your sexual behavior?
  • Has your sexual behavior interfered with intimacy in your relationship?
  • Have you been unable to stop your inappropriate sexual behavior?

Even if you don’t feel addicted, as Christians, we strive for a pure heart that pleases God. If you struggle with any sexual thoughts or behaviors that are against your values, we can help you.

Jesus replied, Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. – John 8:34

Sexual addiction is bondage, and we don’t take that lightly. Through Christ warns against the bonds of sin, He also offers a way out. We offer you a place for seeking after his promises for redemption through faith-based sexual addiction counseling.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.– 2 Peter 3:9

At Spokane Christian Counseling, we understand the heavy burden of sexual addiction including shame, fear of being exposed, and feeling out of control. We also know that these bonds are strong, and if it were in your power, you would not give into sexual temptations. No one wants to be controlled by sexual acts or feelings. We offer the tools you need for freedom from sex addiction.

How Christian Counseling for Sexual Addiction Can Help
