I don't like to admit it, but I used to be there, it took me 1.5 years of constant prayer and struggle to finally vanquish that demon.

Nowadays I rarely have any "thoughts" on the matter, It was a constant struggle of prayer and self-denial, your husband will have to walk through the fire but he will have to WANT it first, as his spirit will be dragging his brain kicking and screaming to where it should be, he has to want it with all of his heart and pray for God to take it away from him... 

There's a video you should show him on youtube, search for "YOUR BRAIN ON PORN", that video should put some fear into him as he is abusing his brain.  

A lot of young guys struggle with this nowadays and don't know that they're doing evil in the eyes of God. Porn is a public mental health crisis and absolutely nothing good can come from its consumption. I wish I had known the dangers when I was a naive young adult who thought it was harmless, but it turned my brain into jello and made me much more depressed in the long run. There's a terrible trade off that young people don't realize.    

There are also communities out there dedicate to quitting this very thing, they helped me quit as well:

Reddit.com/r/nofap  -- Whom have a LOT of resources on how to quit but these people ultimately center their lives on intimacy and not God.
and
Reddit.com/r/nofapChristians  -- This community is the one that really helped me quit but it's a lot smaller however, it's centered on God and the fellowship that Christians offer IMO is much more wholesome.

Find accountability partners for him, encourage him to join a community, engage in constant prayer, and eventually all these things working in unison will harden the brain like a muscle, and he will build resistance. Eventually he'll break free, It happened to me, it can happen to him.
