Marrying a Man with Porn Struggles – Russell Moore offers up a great response to this question: Should I marry a man who struggles with pornography?

Group Bible Study – This is a helpful article on effective group Bible study. “It’s six o’clock Wednesday evening. Your church’s mid-week Bible study starts in one hour but you don’t feel like going.
