John Eldredge Quote

So much of the pornography addiction for men comes from this. It’s not about sex—it’s about validation. She makes him feel like a man. She offers him her beauty, and it makes him feel strong. This is also the root of most affairs. Some woman comes along and offers to answer his Question. His wife has been giving him an F, and she comes along and says, You’re an A to me, and he’s history. If he hasn’t found that deep validation he needs from God, he’s a sitting duck.
