Dave Willis shares how his wife's grace helped him through a pornography struggle, using Galatians 6:2 as a frame for how spouses carry each other's burdens. Her strong, forgiving response set the tone for mutual grace throughout their marriage.
Chapters
Love this verse. Galatians, chapter 6, verse 2, especially as it relates to your marriage, carry each other's burdens, and in this way you fulfill the law of Christ. So we should never, ever have our spouse carry a burden alone. We should carry it together. Early on in our marriage, we've talked about a lot. I had a real struggle with pornography that was at first a secret struggle carried in from my teenage years that I'd never dealt with in a healthy way. And when that finally came out into the light, it started a journey of us being, bearing that burden together. And the way she responded with so much grace and strength in helping me, even while she herself was wounded because of me, I think really set a wonderful precedent in our marriage for how we should, how I wanted to respond, with grace. And we've tried to be there for each other in different ways.
