You may wonder why I have listed these two together.  Whether you want to believe it or not, pornography is a sexual sin.  No physical sex occurs, but it does involve your mind, and Christ said that to do it in your mind was the same as doing it physically. (Matthew 5:28).  God looks on the heart. Most of us would realize that sexual impurity, especially in marriage, will ruin your relationship with your partner.  In some cases it can be mended through forgiveness, counseling and the work of the Holy Spirit.  However, this is a long and painful process. Your partner may struggle with trusting you for the rest of your lives.  It just isn't worth the risk. Pornography easily becomes an addiction.  Once drawn in, the person discovers they do not have the strength to resist the lure.  The person may believe it is personal, and doesn't effect anyone but them.  I submit to you, that your heart is God's home, and this sin has lodged in your heart so that it is taking God's place.  As an addiction it has become your idol.  Also, the more you dwell on it, it will begin to affect your relationship with your partner.This activity is usually carried on in secret.  You may think it is a secret, but chances are your partner knows something is up and trust has begun to erode.  You cannot keep from acting suspicious, although you do not recognize your behaviour as suspicious.  Although you vehemently deny that you would ever engage in adultery or fornication, persistant exposure to pornography will wear you down, making you more susceptible to this kind of trap.  You have desensitized your mind to it, and will soon find yourself thinking about or even engaging in this type of behaviour.  Satan is sly.  He realizes that you have no intention of being unfaithful, so he works on you in stages.  By allowing him a foothold through pornography, you have essentially surrendered. Pornography does become an addiction, and you must handle it as if you were recovering from drugs or alcohol.  Chances are you cannot do it by yourself.  Find a pastor who can counsel and guide you.  It may involve a support group of your partner and close friends.
