Sexual Addiction and Your Relationships
Since you found us, you’re probably very familiar with the devastation of sexual addiction. What can be difficult, though, is finding true understanding of how your partner has struggled and the challenges that are hindering their recovery. For the person with the addiction, they usually hide deep pain that affects their ability to form connected relationships. These same issues are usually what caused the addiction in the first place. The betrayed spouse often deals with issues like codependency, depression, and other problems that can make recovery for the addict and the relationship difficult without professional help. These sometimes complex issues and the serious harm caused by sex addiction can devastate your relationship, but with help from experienced Christian counselors, you can heal these wounds and work towards a relationship built up in the newness of Christ.
