  A relationship is like a pebble—when it hits the water it creates a ripple that has an impact way beyond where it entered. Research tells us that the greatest source of joy in life is healthy relationships and that the greatest source of frustration and pain is unhealthy relationships. Like the little pebble dropped in the water, the quality of our relationships ripple across our lives, the lives of those around and even impact future generations.

Question of the Day

My husband enjoys looking at pornography. His excuse is that I am the problem. He says I should know he loves me, and besides, he’s just looking, not touching. He says he’s only doing what other normal men do. I try to keep myself attractive for him, exercise to keep fit, and please him sexually. Am I crazy for wanting my husband to look only at me naked?
You are not crazy! Pornography is one of the most hotly debated issues facing marriage today. There are many angles to address your question. We could discuss the Biblical reasons why pornography is harmful to your marriage. We could focus on the mountains of research which have documented the damage pornography. We could debate how turning to pornography may cause some people to withdraw from their relationships because they receive instant gratification from their fantasies.
