STEP 1.
PREPARE yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually to face your suffering.

A recommendation with this step is to ask your spouse to install internet accountability software on all of their electronic devices. An excellent provider of this software is Covenant Eyes. Their ministry provides a many articles, for which I am a frequent contributor, for you and your spouse’s continued growth and encouragement.
