Last week, we had a conversation with Brittni De La Mora, who had spent 7 years in the porn industry. She shared that during those 7 years, she hated herself and wanted to commit suicide. That was before God rescued her.
Today, we get a perspective from the consumer side of that industry and the damage it causes to individuals, marriages, and families.
Our guests are Emmanuel and Bekah Guarino. Emmanuel began consuming porn at a young age, which quickly turned into an addiction. After meeting his soon-to-be wife, Bekah, he had hoped things would change. He decided to quit porn 90 days prior to their wedding. That turned into 60 days, then 30 days. The night before their wedding Emmanuel says he can still remember what he searched for to get his fix. The couple recalls their wedding night when porn-induced ED left them both hurt and frustrated.
Bekah shares how that was the start of a long difficult journey to finding a solution to save their marriage, which had just begun. As we shared last week, 56% of marriages that end in divorce are the result of one spouse being consumed by a porn addiction. Bekah made the decision that she was not going to let them be a statistic. They began the healing process together, as a couple.
Today, they are reaching out to couples who are struggling as they did, through “Team Vulnerable”. In this conversation, they walk through the steps they took together to overcome Emmanuel’s porn addiction. Through the team approach, they can heal together. They both know the vulnerabilities that Emmanuel has and can work together to continue that healing process.
Today is the last of our 2-part series on the destruction caused by pornography. As we mentioned last week, statistics reveal that up to 70% of men in the church are watching porn on a regular basis, and up to 33% of women in the church are also watching regularly.
