Strengthening Recovery Through Strenghening Marriage

By Dr. Kevin B. Skinner & Geoff Steurer, M.S., LMFT

Recently Dr. Kevin B. Skinner & Geoff Steurer, M.S., LMFT completed a faboulous work on Pornography Addiction.  The work includes a six part CD that focuses on teaching you how to strengthen your recovery while strengthening your marriage.

Geoff is a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice in St. George, UT and the founder and director of LifeSTAR of St. George, UT, a three-phase recovery program for couples and individuals affected by pornography and sexually compulsive behaviors.

Geoff has specialized training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, an empirically based marital therapy founded by Dr. Susan Johnson.

He is a member of the Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health a clinical member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and a member of the LifeSTAR network.

Dr. Kevin Skinner is a licensed marriage and family therapist, with a master’s degree from University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a doctorate degree from Brigham Young University. He has been in practice since 1995 and has helped many people overcome their struggles and better their relationships. He specializes in marriage and relationships, as well as helping people to overcome pornography and sex addictions or understand how to help loved ones with addictions.

These cd’s focus on the specific recovery needs unique to addicts, injured partners, and the couple.  Additionally, couples will not only learn how to begin healing from the effects of pornography addiction, but will also gain valuable insights on how they can start to build long-term trust and intimacy.

The presentation is broken up into the following six parts.

Part One:  Why Marriage and Porn Don’t Mix
Part Two:  Performing Marital CPR after Discovery
Part Three:  Yours, Mine, and Ours
Part Four:  Addiction and Intimacy
Part Five:  The Key Steps to Rebuilding Trust
Part Six:  The Vision of Long-Term Recovery

We strongly recomend this work and believe that it can help.  We encourage everyone to purchase a copy.

Jeffrey R. Holland was president of Brigham Young University when this devotional address was delivered on 12 January 1988 in the Marriott Center.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

We are sharing this speech with you becasue we believe that it delivers a pure message about Human Intimacy.  This speech was delivered over 20 years ago, and still has significant relevance in today’s society.   Please take the time to read this article as well as share it with anyone you think could benefit from it.


The follwoing is an excerpt from this talk:

“My topic is that of human intimacy, a topic as sacred as any I know and more sacred than anything
I have ever addressed from this podium. If I am not careful and you are not supportive, this subject
can slide quickly from the sacred into the merely sensational, and I would be devastated if that happened.
It would be better not to address the topic at all than to damage it with casualness or carelessness.
Indeed, it is against such casualness and carelessness that I wish to speak. So I ask for your faith and
your prayers and your respect.”
