A United Front Testimony: CarrieAnn

It's a little hard for me to write this testimony, because I have to dig back through my thoughts to remember why it is that I even took this course. ~CarrieAnn My husband of five years, my most treasured friend, the one I thought had it all figured out, confessed to me that he was addicted to pornography. I was totally crushed. I had no idea! Not even a clue as to what was going on, and I think that was probably one of the hardest things for me. I was hurt, angry, scared and. most of all, I felt completely useless, like I had failed him in some way. He was so sorry, and was afraid that I would leave him, which seemed silly to me because I knew that I will never divorce him! I told him over and over again that I wouldn’t leave him and, while I knew that was true, I was dying inside because of my hurt. My husband had found the Setting Captives Free website and was already doing The Way of Purity course. He strongly encouraged me to go to the site to check out the United Front course. I was hesitant at first, because I was still pretty upset. But I thought that if I had somewhere to go, where someone knew about what I was going through, maybe I would have a chance to heal. I didn’t have the opportunity to have a mentor, but I kept the course up anyway. It really helped me to have a place to write down my thoughts and vent my feelings as I didn't talk to anyone about this for a long time. The book "The Excellent Wife" was wonderful. I encourage all of my married friends to read it now! I am definitely going to continue my relationship with Setting Captives Free because I really believe in what they are doing and hope to one day be a part of it. My husband has been free for over six months and our relationship has honestly been better than ever! I didn't even think that was possible. But God has been so good, and I am grateful for His faithfulness in our lives.
