Chapter 4

Recovery for an Addicted Husband or Wife

While there are many similarities to the recovery processes for men and women, there are also key differences that must be addressed. I recommend both wives and husbands read this chapter. It will help you understand what is needed for a healthy and lasting recovery for a person addicted to pornography and sex, and it will prepare you for the work that will be required to heal, not just for yourself and your addiction, but for your spouse and your marriage.

Recovery will take time and work, but freedom from pornography addiction and other sexual sins is possible. It requires patience and perseverance. There will be some falls along the way, but don’t let this discourage you. Even falls can be used as learning tools to help in building a successful recovery program. Your work in recovery will set the stage for your spouse’s healing and for lasting healing for your marriage. Taking responsibility for your actions means taking a proactive leadership role in recovery. Let your spouse see that you are committed to healing and restoring yourself and your marriage.
