Confession can set you free from any addiction
Plan of Action
Moving past your Anger
Anger can be a very important issue to address so that you can live a full life. As a counselor I know this anger piece will have to be addressed first before some of you can truly forgive. I know so many Christians go to counselors with abuse, trauma, and all kinds of wounding from others. They are quickly told to forgive without giving instructions on how to heal the wound. Years later they are still acting wounded but they are confused because they forgave the person.
Are You Living Married and Alone?
Intimacy Anorexia a popular term coined by Douglas Weiss Ph.D. it is the active withholding of emotional, spiritual, and/or sexual intimacy from the spouse. If you’ve been married to an Intimacy Anorexic for any length of time, you have most likely experienced many painful feelings. You may regularly feel unloved, disconnected from, misunderstood, and even blamed or criticized. Although you are married, you feel alone much of the time - married and alone. These feelings are absolutely legitimate, and your experience is universal: across all ages, religions, economic levels and cultures, those wed to Intimacy Anorexics have had similar experiences.

Quick Tips
Lying Creates a Wall
Lying creates a wall between you and your spouse that is definitely felt. There is something going on between the two of you even if it is as simple as you’re angry at yourself for lying and you eventually take your anger out on yourself or on your spouse. Your wife absolutely has no way to process a lie. When you choose to lie to your wife she feels disrespected and hurt because you didn’t trust her enough to give her the truth. It’s like saying to her, “I don’t trust you and I don’t care.” You are rejecting your wife’s person when you lie to her and create intentional pain in your marriage. So guys, if you want to do something your wife won’t understand and is guaranteed to be hurt in your marriage, lie.
Love is the Opposite of Lust
Definitely part of killing our flesh is walking in the Spirit which is love. Love is the absolute opposite of lust. Lust and love cannot exist at the same place at the same time. Lust and love are as polar opposite as light and darkness. You have to leave light to enter darkness. You have to leave darkness to enter light. In the same way we have to leave love to lust, and leave lust to love.
Say Goodbye to Selfishness
All human beings can and are selfish at times. This is a part of all of us, in that, we are a flawed but loved humanity. This selfishness is part of the overall anorexic entity to protect their heart and justify many behaviors that pull away from or push the spouse away.
Learning from Others
One of the greatest gifts we receive in this life is to watch the lives of those around us. I have been blessed in so many ways to have learned from others who have done well in life and I also have learned by others through their mistakes.
Sinned Against Yourself
All of us make some mistakes, after all, that is part of the journey of life. When we think of forgiveness we often think about how others have made mistakes against us. But too often we neglect the mistakes or sins we have committed against others or ourselves. Sinning against ourselves can also cause us pain or woundedness that we need to address to live a forgiveness lifestyle.

When you are married, you are God's son in law. How do you think God would grade you as his son in law? What we love we protect, and what we protect we love. If you are protecting a sexual secret, then you are loving the behavior or the pornography and hurting the people you love.
