124: When Seeking Validation Leads to Pornography and/or Physical Infidelity

124: When Seeking Validation Leads to Pornography and/or Physical Infidelity

What do you do when you struggle with feelings of needing validation from a source outside of yourself?

Whether it’s sexual attention from a woman, making a lot of money, doing and accomplishing things, or looking a certain way, it’s a trap that leads to more heartache.

In this episode, I share how both a husband and wife can work through these underlying issues that lead to validation seeking and coping in destructive ways.

The more you can recognize and resolve the root cause, the more peace, fulfillment, and worth you can feel in a healthy, sustainable way.
