This video testimonial by Rob and Jen Alexander is one of the most compelling and inspiring we've experienced. We would like you to see it for yourself, but several elements stand out.
  • They sought help for their marriage before it was too late.
  • They imagined what life would be like without daily interaction with their children.
  • They implemented positive changes and reaped the benefits.
  • They saw differences in their children as a result of their own improved relationship.

​Thank you, Rob and Jen, for this message of hope to many! Our desire is to see many healthy marriage champions investing in their own marriages as well as those around them.

The battle against porn II

Porn has definitely been in the headlines recently. Not to promote it, but to call it our for the plague it is and the destruction it brings to individuals, marriages and families.

One of the most effective and favorite websites I've seen in the crusade against porn is Fight The New Drug, www.fightthenewdrug.org.

A non-profit organization, Fight The New Drug is run by young people with a passion to see people freed from porn's grip. They have the technical skills and cultural savvy to communicate with their own generation. The website is filled with research and testimonials that are as compelling and inspiring as anything I've seen.

This past week I came across a post from FTND that was heartbreaking. It's title: A Letter to My Husband's Porn Star Fantasies. I recommend reading this post and then having an honest discussion about it with people close to you (your partner, your age appropriate children, a trusted friend). Rarely are we put in the other person's shoes as this post does extremely well.

This may not be an easy topic to talk about. From personal experience, when I would actively seek out porn, the shame and embarrassment would make it the LAST thing on earth I'd want to talk about. But with a trusted "accountability partner" and with my wife, facing my response to porn became the eventual path to enduring freedom.

My heart goes out to the many young people who are being exposed to porn at a young age (as I was), but with exponentially greater access and saturation. Will you join me in promoting the Fight The New Drug website as well as the post referenced in this blog?
