Adultery usually begins when a man develops emotional ties with a woman who is not his wife. Embezzlement comes after long periods of bitterness, lack of contentment, and greed. Secret sins are like an addiction it inevitably takes more and more to satisfy our cravings. Like a river rushing towards a waterfall, secret sins gather strength the farther we go downstream. When Satan tempts us, he offers the bait but hides the hook.
Momentary pleasure can become bitter for eternity.
Confess your sin to an accountability partner as well as anyone you have sinned against. Secret sin is particularly enticing because it is hidden from other people. Letting someone in on our secret helps stop private sin in its tracks. If you have been involved with pornography, find an appropriate time and confess your sin to your wife. This may be hard she will be angry or hurt or both, but honesty can bring healing in your relationship.
