Darren was in seminary, in training to be a minister, but his addiction to porn was growing. Four years into their marriage, his wife April found out about it and continued to discover signs of his problem for eight more years. Little by little, her respect for Darren was dying. He continued to make excuses and justifications—until one day she had enough.
