Advice Needed

[Keesh]

I too have been struggling with masturbation. Before I became a true Christian, I'd struggled my entire life with this since I was five, then I got baptized into God's family and overcame it at age 25. Then it crept back up during my Christian walk when I became engaged, 7 years later. Luckily, with a group of women who shared the same battle , we formed a purity group and kept each other accountable, daily. That helped and after I got married I never looked back. Now, three and a half years into marriage, the last three weeks masturbation has crept up on me. Iv'e done in twice in three weeks. I confessed to my small group, prayed read scriptures, but Iv'e done it again since. Starting to feel like the addiction is coming back, but I'm am married. My hubby should be satisfying those needs. I'd love some advice, especially from a married woman, if you are out there.

I am married and do tht sometimes but it is because I don't get what I need, not that, that makes it ok. You started masturbating at five? I don't know if that's normal. It could be you reacting trauma. Only you would know that though.

Dear Sister,

I understand your disgust for this sin. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. I am not married but, I could not keep silent after reading your post. You need help.
I was addicted to this sin myself for 8 years. I fought this sin and gave up one day - and decided to leave Christianity. That day I was ready to go to hell - because that is what I deserve. You know what happened that day - our loving Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ intervened in my life and led me to Setting Captives Free online ministry. I took up the 60 day interactive course - Way of Purity and our Lord Jesus completely set me free. I am sure you will find married people there to help you because they assign mentors who counsel you and pray for you. This course is free to join.
If you want me to be an accountability partner, I would be glad to help you for the glory of God. Please feel free to write to me.

Sharon

Sit down and have a discussion with your husband. He should be satisfying your needs.

I do it, once in awhile, but it's just because my wife doesn't seem interested. I want her!!! Any suggestions?
