While research exists on many issues relating to wives of sex addicts, there is currently a void in the literature regarding the kinds of support women find most beneficial when dealing with a spouse's sexually addictive or compulsive behaviors. Using grounded theory methodology, 22 Christian women from Canada and the United States were interviewed to find out what they found most helpful as they sought support to cope with a spouse's sexually addictive and compulsive behaviors. A theory of support for this population emerged from the data.
