Law, Homosexuality, Sin

[Texas_Roofer]

I’m not sure what you mean by “perfectly heterosexual.” If you mean by that, attraction to others, while nevertheless limiting oneself in thought & practice to the heterosexual partner (spouse!), that should be perfect enough for God. Many dyed-in-the-wool heterosexuals strongly prefer the company of their **own gender, & are more emotionally attached to them than to anyone of the opposite gender, including their spouses. **
Perhaps I misunderstand the question.

Not properly married people, the two become one, not part time one, not occasionally one, not one except------, they become one. And over time those who did not become one will learn the difference.

The reason I opened the door on this topic is because most of the comments left no middle ground. Most of the population of the world is bisexual. There are percentages on a range of being drawn sexually towards a man and(or) woman. In this light I am saying that since there is very few 100% heterosexual people, that marriage covenants should allow for this variation.

I’m not condoning infidelity, but sexual attraction towards the same sex I do not see as a stumbling block to raising children.

Incidentally, even if a person was 100% heterosexual what limits the fear that the man won’t leave his wife for another?

I can accept the theory that there may be varying degrees of sexual attraction - a spectrum from homo- to hetero- with some people with a fairly balanced desire in the middle of that spectrum (note though that the vast majority would be far in the hetero- side of the spectrum). However, it would not then follow that “marriage covenants should allow for this variation.”

Marriage from a religious standpoint is Sacrament instituted by Christ, and we can’t change those.

From a non-religious standpoint, the ideal relationship for the raising of children is a family consisting of the biological mother and father raising their children. There is no intrinsic value to society of a homosexual relationship. Therefore, we should keep marriage as it is. There is no reason to take a disordered desire and make it part of the ideal. It is bad enough that we have to make concessions to handle divorce.
