Last Updated: March 26, 2024

Covenant Eyes Podcast – Episode 17

[display_podcast]

michael-smalley-1Today on the Covenant Eyes podcast I will be interviewing relationship expert Michael Smalley. Through their books and seminars, Michael and his wife Amy have been teaching couples for years about the principles that make healthy marriages.

Today Michael will talk about the problems and harms couples face who choose to watch pornography together. Michael will also talk about the problems caused by husbands who watch pornography on their own and how this can damage a marriage. Lastly, Michael will talk about the power and importance of accountability, and using software like Covenant Eyes to help a husband who is fighting to stay pure.

Listen also to Part 2 (how porn cripples marriage), and Part 3 (single men and pornography).
