오늘날의 디지털 시대에서 포르노의 보급은 많은 관계, 특히 결혼 생활에서 민감한 주제가 되었습니다. 자주 떠오르는 질문은 포르노를 규칙적으로 보는 것이 결혼 생활에 실패를 초래할 수 있는지에 관한 것입니다. 어떤 사람들은 그것이 해롭지 않다고 생각할 수 있지만, 그 결과는 예상보다 훨씬 더 심각할 수 있습니다.
In today’s digital age, the prevalence of pornography has become a sensitive topic in many relationships, especially marriages. A question that often arises is whether watching porn regularly can cause a marriage to fail. Some might think it’s harmless, but the consequences can be much more profound than expected.
The Bible and Divorce
The Bible speaks clearly about the reasons for divorce, emphasizing that sexual immorality is one of them. In Matthew 19:9, Jesus uses a broad term in Greek that encompasses all kinds of sexual sin. While some may argue that pornography doesn’t fit within this definition, many believe it certainly does. If a person is unwilling to address or even acknowledge the harm caused by their addiction to porn, it can indeed create significant problems in a marriage. But is this enough to justify divorce? Let’s explore that question.

Can Porn Cause Divorce?
Pornography can severely damage a marriage in multiple ways. It’s not just about the act of watching porn—it’s about the emotional distance it creates between partners, the unmet needs, and the erosion of intimacy. If a spouse refuses to stop using porn after repeated concerns have been expressed, it can create a sense of betrayal and disrespect. For many, this becomes a form of emotional adultery, one that deeply harms the trust in the relationship.

How Porn Affects Trust

According to biblical teachings, the only reason one can divorce and remarry is due to sexual immorality. If pornography becomes a persistent issue, causing deep emotional hurt and disconnect, it could be seen as a form of sexual sin. A wife who feels emotionally neglected and betrayed may have a legitimate reason for divorce. However, just because there’s a biblical reason for divorce, it doesn’t necessarily mean that divorce is the right or immediate solution.

Addressing the Issue with Your Spouse
If you are in a marriage where porn is a significant problem, the first thing to do is communicate your feelings honestly and openly with your spouse. It’s crucial to express how the behavior makes you feel, whether it’s neglected, hurt, or betrayed. It’s important to approach the conversation with care and not out of anger or frustration. Your goal is to make them aware of the emotional damage that porn use is causing in the relationship.

Holding Your Spouse Accountable

While it’s a delicate issue, it’s crucial to be firm and clear about the need for change. One of the most important things you can do is hold your spouse accountable, but in a constructive way. This may involve seeking help from a counselor or therapist who can guide both of you through the process of healing and rebuilding trust. If necessary, setting an ultimatum might be required—though this should be done carefully and in the context of seeking a resolution, not as a form of manipulation.

The Bigger Picture: Healing and Restoration
Divorce should never be the first solution when dealing with challenges in marriage. Instead, the goal should always be healing and restoration. While porn can indeed harm a relationship, with effort, open communication, and commitment, it’s possible to work through these issues. If both spouses are willing to address the problem and work on rebuilding trust, it is possible for the marriage to emerge stronger.

Conclusion
Pornography is a complex issue in relationships, and its effects can be far-reaching. While the Bible offers insight into divorce due to sexual immorality, the choice to divorce isn’t always a straightforward one. The key is open communication, accountability, and a commitment to work through the issue together. If your spouse refuses to stop using porn and shows no willingness to address the issue, it may be time to take further action. However, remember that divorce should always be a last resort, and the goal should always be the restoration of the relationship.
