Intensive Marriage Therapy
Question: I recently checked the Internet browser history on my 12-year-old son’s computer, and he has been looking at pornography. How should I talk to him about this? I’m worried if he finds out I’ve been snooping, he won’t trust me anymore and start to keep other things secret.
Cindy could not find her four year old son. She looked all through the house and then the yard, but couldn’t find him anywhere. Desperate, she ran out into the street and looked up and down the road. There was her sweet son, sitting at the corner playing with his stick in the dirt. Yanking him back to the house, she yelled, “Haven’t I told you not to go to the corner?”
The next day she found him there again. This time she spanked him and sent him to his room saying, “I have told you not to go to the corner! You’ll spend the rest of the day in your room!”Continue Reading
Finding out that your spouse has a porn addiction is often devastating and overwhelming. In recent studies of wives whose husbands are addicted to porn, researchers have found that woman describe their experience in the same way women describe finding out about an affair. The deceit, betrayal, secrecy, shame, and feelings of inadequacy are the same. Because of the stigma associated with pornography, the addicts, and their spouses, often suffer in silence and feel utterly hopeless and alone. One woman has courageously shared her story of struggle as she and her husband have spent years fighting his addiction. She explained to me that she wished there was someone to have told her these things when she was going through it, and she wants to offer that support and encouragement to others.
Pornography addiction is than you might think. I am certain that there are several couples that you associate with on a regular basis that struggle with pornography addiction in their relationship – you just don’t know it. PLEASE share this article. When you share this on Facebook and Twitter or pin it on Pinterest, you don’t know who you might reach. This woman’s tender message may be the sliver of hope that someone desperately needs to hear right now.
I also want to add that therapy can help! Over half of the clients I work with struggle with some form of sexual addiction. The intensive marriage therapy retreat is a powerful way to begin addressing these hurts and putting your marriage back together.
As a parent, I try really hard to say “Yes” as much as I can, but this summer, I have found myself saying “No” more than I would like. This week I had to do something to break that cycle. One of our biggest challenges this summer is the excessive asking for screen time. It is really, really hot here in Florida and unless we are in the pool, it is pretty miserable to be outside. Since I can only handle so much of the pool, that leaves us with a lot of time around the house with my little ones wanting to watch TV or play the iPad. They ask constantly and I say “No!” constantly.
The only way we were going to survive the summer was if I came up with a different game plan.Continue Reading
Needless to say, I deleted all the Cut the Rope apps off my iPad and went on a hunt for even better apps than we had. Most of our apps were already educational, but there were a few (like Cut the Rope) that I was someone swindled into installing.
I found some really great options. Hopefully you will enjoy these top educational apps as well.Continue Reading
