Great job! Yes we all make mistakes, fall short at times and even many times through life. It takes great acts of humility, many self reflections, many defeats, and it takes a lot of courage especially in this world today to be a real man. A man who fell short before GOD, and instead of running away, quitting, denying, lying, and just giving up in life even when I am sure Josh had wanted to do through all of this but here the real true "MIRACLE" of this... he didn't! In fact he was a real true man about everything... went through rehab, put in all the extremely hard work, did whatever he had to do to recover from this and in the end look what GOD has done in return! He accepted what he did was wrong and even that wasn't good enough to him, he wanted to take responsibility for his actions to ensure they never happen again! Instead of being a coward and running away from his wife and kids he was a real man of GOD and stayed! That is the power of almighty GOD! I am a nationally registered paramedic and have seen the worst of the very worst in poeople, society. I have witnessed the endless emotions of death, mistakes, wrongdoing but I have this to say... when you are a man of GOD which nothing was more evident than to watch John from beginning to end and just how very far he went for his own family, his wife, his kids, and even himself look no farther than who Josh is today! The same men that God asks and wants all of us to be... honestly Josh you are now going to be a major inspiration to many including myself just the perfect testimonial of when life gets hard, when times are extremely tough, when there seems like there is no more hope, when you make mistakes, fall short, and when life gives of just about every reason possible to just quit we see you and we see what GOD has done for you and this is the GOD I always knew! GOD BLESS YOU GUYS AND YOUR FAMILIES!

And please stop saying it is an addiction. The professional mental health world admits that sex addiction is 100% controversial. We are human and God created us to enjoy the opposite sex. If you are a happily married person, you do not give in. Period.

I have been married to a wonderful, Godly, kind, well-educated, financially responsible man for over 20 years. He still struggles with porn. I absolutely do not take in any way personal. I never feel threatened or de-valued. I never compare myself to those images. They are just that--images. They are not real, but I and our marriage is real. His sin( or mistake) is between he and the Lord--not me. I never condemn him or embarrass him. The way I see it every single one of us has an area of struggle. Most women in the Church I know sure do have a lot of "prayer chains" which are really nothing more than gossip chains. How about the number of women who are gluttons--because God's Word says to put a knife to your throat if you are given over to gluttony. My point is...we as Christians are so very quick to judge others who don't sin like we do. My best wishes for much happier days ahead for Josh and Anna.

Josh publically humiliated her, destroyed her confidence, and treated her so poorly she has to be so severely scared. Not sure if her scars can heal, time will tell. I personally stayed with my cheating spouse and forgave him once, twice, thrice, up to fifteen times. When I finally got out I was so severely destroyed by the love (or lack of it) it was next to impossible to deeply love again. Hope Anna fares better.

The rehab program lasted 6 months--and that is what he did. Anna can forgive, prepare a new home, lose weight etc., but what if Josh doesn't want that? If he is not fully willing for reconciliation then I am afraid Anna is in for bigger heartache in the future.
