GAY TRUTH

Some Christians in this situation will discover an increased self-understanding of heterosexual orientation.  I know couples who have come together as husband and wife after one or both struggled with  same-sex attraction , and who found great fulfillment and joy in the gift of heterosexual marriage and the gift of children. But this should not be  the universal expectation.  Many other believers strive to be faithful to Christ and obey the Word  but experience no heterosexual pattern of sexual arousal .
