  • Back Infections and Heart Infections

    Back Infections and Heart Infections

    My husband Ray knew something was wrong as soon as he got out of bed. His lower back, where he’d had back surgery six weeks before, was wet. His t-shirt was wet. The sheet was wet. His fingers glistening with a strange wetness from reaching back to investigate, he asked me to check what was…

Can you help? You and millions of other people, millions MORE now that the internet has invaded our lives! I serve…

  • “Help! My Husband’s Addicted to Porn!”

    I am in a dilemma. I have been married for nineteen years. We have two beautiful children and what I thought was a ‘picture perfect’ marriage. Although I would have liked to make love more often, my husband never seemed interested — so I assumed he had a low level of sexual desire. Recently I…

  • “I Need Resources for My Porn Addiction”
