The Power of Purity Podcast, Episode 201 - His Porn, Your Pain, Healed with Lori Pyatt - Part 1
Before Lori Pyatt was ever married she asked God what her purpose in life was... and she heard God say...
Your purpose in life is to have a great marriage and to help others do the same.
But then Lori married a man - Jay Pyatt - who had an addiction to pornography. Not only did they fight over Jay's use of porn from the first day of their marriage... but the first six months were absolutely horrible... and they then settled into a rut that lasted the next 15 years! At the time they were incapable of talking about the problem... and even going to a therapist didn't help... so Jay and Lori grew further apart in their marriage. Since she didn't know what else to do... Lori simply buried her pain inside and tried to not "feel" her feelings. During those dark years Lori found it difficult to even smile.
Then... about 10 years into their marriage... Jay decided to get serious about overcoming his porn addiction. He put accountability software on his phone... made a commitment to Lori every morning... and checked in with Lori every night. And he did really well... for about 6 years.
Then Jay began using porn again... and did so secretly for the next 4 years! When Lori eventually found out she was devastated. She felt small... knowing her husband had lied to her hundreds... if not thousands of times... over a 4 year period.
This brought Jay and Lori to a crossroads. Their marriage would either end in complete failure... or they would have to do the difficult work of rebuilding their relationship into a stronger and healthier marriage than they had ever had before.
Be blessed as you listen to Lori Pyatt's amazing and powerful story... and hear how God worked in such a faithful and powerful way on their behalf. Jay and Lori are living proof that God can heal and redeem broken people... sexual addiction... and broken marriages.
