Men and women have been
the basis of the family since the beginning of time. Over the last twenty years
or so, the family structure in the eyes of society has changed dramatically.
Now, men marry men, women marry women, and everything in between that you
couldn’t even possibly think of a name for is the normal. Don’t get me wrong,
there are still traditional families out there, there just seem to be more and
more non-traditional families every new year. Men and women used to have their own roles,
and in today’s world they do, they just aren’t the same roles as they used to
be. Men used to be the provider of the family. They did the heavy lifting; they
worked and financially supported the family. Women cooked, cleaned, shopped,
took care of the kids, and all the other house related duties. Throughout time
those have progressed and changed. Major women’s movements have taken place and
have pushed and pushed to create equality between the sexes. Men and women are
different for good reason. They were not made to be equal. That being said, the
man nor woman is great than the other. They are equal and they within a
marriage should have equal responsibility for all duties to be done.
Even as babies, there is
a clear difference between a boy and a girl. Studies have shown that female babies
tend to develop faster than male babies. Girls pick pink, and dolls whereas
boys generally pick blue, and cars or guns. Children are generally drawn to and
pick the things that they play with. There isn’t any influence in that aspect.
Babies will do what babies want to do. As children grow older they still have
the choice and most often they pick what “goes with” their gender.
Now, lets talk about same-sex
attraction. Some people say they were born gay, and that being said scientists
have proven that is inaccurate. No one
is born gay, you simply have tendencies to do certain things and eventually you
decide you are gay after years and years of influence. So many different factors
affect your attraction to someone of the same sex as you. Same-sex attraction is a choice. If you believe
you are gay you are most likely going to choose to marry, and eventually have
kids with that member of the same sex. Your children will not grow up with a
mother and a father. This will influence your children. Studies have shown that
children with a mom and a dad are better off than children with two mothers or
two fathers. Children benefit from having both genders as a heavy prevalent influence
in their lives.
There is a clear
difference between genders and each person, the male and female, have important
roles in relationships. Whatever orientation you choose, however and whomever
you decide to marry is your choice. Whatever decision you decide upon for
yourself is your decision and everyone should love you because you are person.
Judging someone or treating someone any differently because of their sexual
orientation is wrong. God commanded us to love thy neighbor. He did not specify
and did not command us to love every straight neighbor. We are to love everyone
and whether or not you decide to love your neighbor without judgement or bias
will be judged by your Heavenly Father.
That being said, men and
women are different. Men and women have the right to choose. We are to love
everyone no matter who they choose to marry. In a marriage, you should love and
rear your children and give them the love and support they need to thrive and
grow into the beautiful humans you are and want them to become.
