As people living in a culture that is obsessed with technology we need to discuss this in the context of marital intimacy. The Internet is a great tool for research, shopping and many other services. Like the television it can be used for good such as carrying the gospel across the world or for negativity like so much of the prime time television.

The largest portion of the Internet is still pornography. Pornography by itself in the form of magazines and videos is a real threat to intimacy.

The Internet can be addictive not only for pornography but also for games or if intimacy is being threatened in your relationship with your husband or wife by the Internet you will need to address this issue together. You can get addicted to the computer or the Internet and a symptom of this is less time for your other relationships especially your husband or wife. Work together to establish boundaries to protect the precious gift of intimacy in your marriage.
