Many studies and research projects have revealed that pornography is a main cause in many divorces.
Here's What the Stats Show
*I believe this is a reality not just in the US but all over the world.
Here's What the Stats Show
- Dr. Jill Manning, a licensed marriage and family therapist, testified before the U.S. Senate that 56 percent of divorce cases involve one party having an obsessive interest in pornographic websites.
- Lifesite News reports that Dr. Patrick F. Fagan, director of the Center for Research on Marriage and Religion, "found that pornography use causes instability, distrust and betrayal in marriages, severely damaging the bond between the husband and wife."
- Dr. Fagan said, "Viewers of pornography assign increased importance to sexual relations without emotional involvement. The emotional distance fostered by pornography ... can often be just as damaging to the relationship as real-life infidelity, and both men and women tend to put online sexual activity in the same category as having an affair."
- Recovery Ranch states that "Many national divorce lawyers are agreeing with Fagan, with a meeting survey from the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers showing that more than 60 percent agreed that Internet pornography was linked to higher rates of divorce. They also agree that the prolific spread of internet pornography during the past few years is a factor. Representatives from the association have stated that less than a decade ago, pornography didn't appear in divorce cases."
- The same academy stated that 68 percent of divorce cases involve one partner starting an affair over the internet.
- Dr. Kevin B. Skinner wrote in a Psychology Today article that "Every year for the past decade there have been roughly 1 million divorces in the United States. If half of the people divorcing claim pornography as the culprit, that means there are 500,000 marriages annually that are failing due to pornography."
- Millennials are also large consumers of porn, which will impact future marriages. A 2006 study found that 84 percent of people between 18-49 years of age view porn.CN
