Married in the Temple for Time and All Eternity

I am a woman who belongs to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I married in the temple for time and all eternity. We have been married almost a decade and now have five children. I know Jesus Christ lives and is our Heavenly Father's son. I know he has a plan for each of us in our lives to become the best versions of ourselves we can possibly be. I am not perfect. No one is, except our Savior, Jesus Christ. I am thankful for each day I have to try to be better. I want nothing more than to do what God wants me to do. I feel that through some of my trials and sufferings, I may be able to bring hope and peace to others. I feel that by sharing my story about how I have endured life through my husband's pornography addiction and discovered how to obtain peace, you will be uplifted and find the confidence you need in your lives to be the best you can be.
My husband's pornography addiction has brought me quite the opposite of peace. I have experienced much opposition and betrayal. I still experience much suffering. But, I have found the pathway to peace and have felt our Heavenly Father's love among my suffering.
My greatest hope is to find other women whose husbands have struggled with pornography addictions. I hope that by sharing my story, if you are in the same or a similar situation as me, you will feel I am your friend. I only want to encourage you, support you, give you hope and help you find the strength you possess and find peace among your suffering.
