Understanding Marriage and Family

    Being single is tough. Well, I can say that because I am. I can't speak for everyone, but I can speak from what I've observed. And what I've observed is that dating is hard. That's right, the "D" word. I get so discourage that I don't even really want to hear that stinking word anymore.     But why? Why is it so hard and frustrating and confusing?

And everyone has a right to their own opinions, but, I think it's important to know the facts and be informed. This is my wish for those reading this post-is to inform. Before reading on, I highly recommend watching this video, which explains same sex attraction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJhyzqdzpnM     In this video, it describes that no one is born with same-sex attraction. There are possible factors that play into being homosexual and the video discusses some of these, such as: Wounded gender identity, bullying, father hunger, mother confusion,inappropriate touch, and pornography. The video interviews a couple of men who have overcome same-sex attractions with the help of therapy. They discuss feelings of depression. They feel unhappy with being homosexual and don't feel fulfilled, even after engaging in homosexual activity. They were able to reach out to therapists a...
