I Looked for Love in Your Eyes

Tim Challies shares a gut-wrenching poem from a woman whose husband is addicted to pornography. Challies explains:

“A few days ago I received an email from a reader of this site, a woman who was responding to some of the articles I’ve written on the subject of pornography. She shared a poem, a bit of free verse she had written in the midst of her husband’s addiction. I wish I could say it was the only email I’ve received from such a woman. Sadly it’s not; not by a long shot. . . I thought I would share this poem. It’s a little bit graphic, but only so far as it needs to be. I think it’s particularly heartbreaking in drawing out the clear connection between pornography and violence. And it’s just a realistic look at how so many men are damaging and destroying their wives and families. It’s reality.”

If you are a man and you struggle with, dabble with, or are addicted to pornography, your soul needs this reality check. Go read it now. When you’re done with that, take a look at the list of resources Justin Taylor has compiled for men struggling with pornography.
