A common misconception in Christian culture is that unmarried people are the ones that need to remain pure before marriage. Once you’re married, it’s not a problem. Dr. Russell Moore confronts this lie, saying sexual temptation is a demonic response against the holy sexual intimacy in your healthy marriage. He elaborates on some ways to protect marital fidelity, and exposes pornography as poison for marital intimacy.
