"In the past, I’d rather lie to you than lose you. Now, I’d rather lose you than lie to you." – Jake Porter

That’s blunt. That’s direct. And that’s the heart of true recovery.

For anyone who’s lived a lifestyle of betrayal, secrecy, or deceit—lying becomes the “norm.” But if healing is going to happen, if trust is ever going to be rebuilt, then honesty cannot be optional.

👉 100% transparency is required.
👉 Truth—even when it’s hard—is the only way forward.
👉 Partners who’ve been lied to for so long can feel dishonesty, even when it’s subtle.

If we’re not willing to walk in the light, our partners will know it. And without truth, there is no safety, no trust, and no real recovery.

💬 What do you think—why do you think honesty feels so risky at first, and how does it become freeing over time?

We’re gathered just before dinner in the chapel—banners up, welcome bags ready, hearts open. 💜 This is a sacred weekend for women walking the painful road of s*xual betrayal, abandonment, and neglect in their marriages.

Some of the stories shared tonight are heartbreaking. Many of these women have been on this journey for a long time. But here, they’re reminded they are not alone. This is not their fault. 💪

From emotional and physical affairs to the pain of p**n, lust, or even AI-driven infidelity—whatever form it takes, it leaves deep wounds. This weekend is about healing, community, and reclaiming identity as God’s beloved daughters. 🙏

To every Princess Warrior who couldn’t make it this year—you’re in our hearts and prayers. 💜 We’re here, standing with you. Stay tuned for more updates from this powerful weekend. 🌸

Living a life of deceit and secrecy rewires the brain. For many betrayers, the automatic response to questions isn’t truth—it’s deflection. That habit may have started in childhood, reinforced by fear of “getting in trouble” or causing harm.

👉 That’s why change takes time.
👉 That’s why recovery isn’t instant.
👉 That’s why honesty has to be practiced until it becomes the new default.

How long does it take? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on:

The level of self-deception

Emotional awareness (or lack of it)

How much inner work is being done in recovery

The good news: real change is possible. But it’s not about snapping your fingers—it’s about consistent, humble, practiced honesty.

💬 What do you think—can honesty be rebuilt faster through accountability, or does it simply take time and experience?

Stories like this remind us why this retreat matters so much—God truly meets women in powerful ways when we come together.

This retreat is for women who have been impacted by betrayal through their husband’s s*xual compulsive behaviors. 💔 You are not alone—there are so many of us out there walking this difficult journey.

📖 According to Dr. Crystal’s Betrayal, Trauma, Anger (2023), more than 22 million people are struggling with compulsive s*xual behaviors. That means countless spouses and partners are deeply hurting. That’s why spaces like this retreat matter.

At Princess Warrior, you’ll find:
✨ A safe place to share your story
✨ Healing tools for the journey
✨ Connection with women who truly understand
✨ Hope that you don’t have to walk this road alone

tradition has a lot to teach us about how to connect our bodies and emotions to our theology in our relationship with God. Many men "know" they are loved by God but do not often, if ever, experience His love. Could be shame, family of origin issues or trauma and s*xual addiction that can become that spiritual road block!

Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships.” – Lisa TerKeurst

Oof. That one hits hard.

When betrayal happens, that “oxygen” gets cut off in an instant. It’s no wonder partners feel like they’re suffocating—because in many ways, they are. The life source of the relationship has been removed.

And here’s the thing:
👉 You can’t rebuild trust without honesty.
👉 You can’t rebuild safety with secrecy.
👉 You can’t rebuild intimacy while pretending to look the other way.

It sounds obvious—“of course honesty matters”—but in practice, it’s often the trickiest, most foundational work we have to do.

💬 What do you think? Do you believe trust can ever be rebuilt without full honesty?

Bridging the Gap: P**n’s Negative impacts & Solutions for Your Family

While the presentation primarily focuses on the negative effects of p**nography, it does so in a way that is shame-free and empathetic. It acknowledges that many people—both youth and adults—may already struggle with p**nography consumption and that this does not define them. The parent/community presentation emphasizes scientific research, personal accounts, and practical solutions for parents, caregivers, and individuals. However, it does not delve deeply into comprehensive s*x education or a broader discussion of healthy s*xuality in detail.

That said, there are implied discussions about healthy s*xuality, such as:
Encouraging open, shame-free conversations between parents and children about s*x and p**nography.
Addressing misconceptions about relationships and intimacy that p**nography can create.

Emphasizing the importance of real connection and consent in relationships.
If parents or caregivers want to supplement this with broader conversations about healthy relationships and s*xuality, the presentation encourages ongoing dialogue and provides tools like the Let’s Talk About P**n discussion guide.

Ultimately, the goal is not to condemn but to empower individuals to make informed choices about p**nography while providing hope and resources for those who want to break free from its negative effects.
