    When Pornography Enters a Marriage | Guest: Jim Cress

    What do you do when pornography enters a marriage—and where do you even begin to find help? On this episode of Marriage on the Daily, Julie B. sits down with Jim Cress, a certified addiction therapist, certified partner trauma therapist, speaker, counselor, and co-host of the Therapy and Theology podcast, for an honest and hope-filled conversation about pornography, addiction, betrayal, healing, and marriage. Jim brings decades of professional experience to this conversation, along with his own personal story of recovery. He shares why pornography is such a significant issue for individuals and couples, how secrecy keeps people stuck, and why healing requires more than simply saying, “just stop it.” Together, Julie and Jim discuss: • What to do if you discover your spouse is looking at pornography • Why porn addiction can feel like betrayal in marriage • How trust is broken—and how it can begin to be rebuilt • Why both spouses need safe places to process their stories • What “story work” is and why it matters • How shame, secrecy, and blame keep people trapped • Why a spouse is not responsible for another person’s sin • The importance of full disclosure, wise counsel, and qualified help • Resources for those struggling with pornography or betrayal trauma • Why healing is possible, even after deep hurt Jim also explains why couples need honesty, support, confession, safety, and intentional work to begin moving toward healing. This conversation does not minimize the pain pornography can cause, but it also points toward the hope, help, and healing available for individuals and marriages willing to step out of the dark and into the light. Whether this is part of your story, someone you love is walking through it, or you simply want to better understand the impact pornography can have on marriage, this episode offers practical wisdom, compassion, and a reminder that there is help available. Because even in the hardest places, healing is possible.
