Is porn good for marriage? In this conversation, Robert and Sharla Snow discuss the topic of pornography and its impact on relationships. They highlight three main reasons why they decided to address this topic: the correlation between pornography use and decreased sex life satisfaction, the potential for increased desire for rough or violent sexual intimacy, and the increased chance of divorce. They share staggering statistics about pornography consumption and its prevalence on the internet. The conversation then shifts to the personal experiences of Emmanuel Guarino and his wife Becca, who share their journey of dealing with porn addiction in their marriage. They discuss the negative effects of pornography on their relationship, including porn-induced erectile dysfunction and the loss of intimacy. They also talk about the lack of resources and support available for couples dealing with this issue. The turning point in their journey came when Emmanuel reached a breaking point and asked for help, leading them to start a mission of helping other couples overcome porn addiction.
