Homosexual couple
Attending a Family Gathering Including a Same-Sex Couple
This is a delicate situation. You have good reason to be concerned about the potential impact on your kids, especially in view of the disturbing changes we’re seeing in social attitudes towards marriage and sexuality in this nation. As a parent, you do have a responsibility to guard the innocence of your children, and you’re to be applauded on taking that aspect of your role so seriously.
At the same second, we also think you’re right to be concerned about keeping up a positive influence and a solid Christian witness in the lives of your sister-in-law and her loved one. After all, they’re people, too – individuals created in God’s image and objects of His unfailing admire . We realize you sense as if you’re facing a real dilemma, but we believe you can achieve both objectives without compromising.
Let’s face it: as Christians living in a non-Christian world, we always have to be “wise as serpents and angelic as doves.” In the parenting context, this means figuring out how to protect your children physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually while still maintainin
Abstract
GARCIA, Felipe E. et al. Couple Relationships Homosexual and Heterosexual: A Comparative Study. Act.Psi [online]. 2017, vol.31, n.122, pp.31-43. ISSN 2215-3535. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/ap.v31i122.23346.
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare heterosexual and homosexual people who are in reliable relationships, with respect to the components of the triangular theory of love: conflict resolution tactics, couple adjustment and psychological wellbeing. The participants were comosed of 157 adolescent adults Chileans: 77 homosexuals (30 lesbians and 47 male lover men) and 80 heterosexuals (45 women and 35 men). The instruments used were the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, the Sternberg’s Triangular Devote Scale, the Flourishing Scale of Diener and Conflict Resolution Style Inventory of Kurdek. The results show that there are significant differences in some dispute resolution tactics, components of love between partners, and couple adjustment according to sexual orientation. In addition, there are also differences between women living and not living with a partner.

I want you to meet a rather unique couple. Their names are Sarah and Lindsey, but don’t form your opinions too rapidly. Yes, Sarah and Lindsey are partners. Yes, they are attracted to the same sex. But no, they are not married nor are they engaging in sexual relations. They are celibate. Now, before you race to proclaim where you “stand” on this situation—Is it sin?! Is it not a sin!? Why are they partners and not just roommates?!—why don’t you obtain to know them first? If you’re an evangelical Christian, and you’re heterosexual, and you are wrestling with the question of homosexuality, the best counsel I can offer you is to stop and heed . To listen is to love and to learn—few people ever learn anything while they are talking or racing to form perspectives with ear plugs in.
So let’s pay attention to the story of Sarah and Lindsey.
PS: Thanks Sarah Lindsey for sharing your story with us. Why don’t you begin by telling us a little about yourselves. Who you are, what you perform, and how distant you’ve been together?
S&L: Thanks, Preston, for interviewing us. It’s a little weird to introduce ourselves as a couple. We are both Christians, we serve as teachers, and we love sharing life.
