  1. I also believe that the religion made that relationship work. Without the religious component the marriage would have broken apart long time ago. I have suspicions of my boyfriend being bisexual. I can see him trying hard to keep the sex alive. He doesn’t want to come out even though he can openly talk to me about it now. I can see him going through crisis every now and then. I used to feel it was because I was not attractive to him anymore but now I understand that it is with himself not accepting his sexuality. I feel for him. I love him 😍 and I feel that I will destroy him if I leave him.

  2. I know the subject matter of this video is slightly different because of the religion aspect, but you have to remember that some people make this choice freely. Two years ago one of my best friends, who is not religious at all, married her best friend, a gay man. They are soulmates in an utterly committed and loving platonic relationship. Their marriage is sexually open (because they are not really a couple) but they live together and care for each other in every way. It works for them and though they face judgement, they're genuinely one of the sweetest and most affectionate pairs I've ever seen.

    I agree that there's something messy about relationships like the one in the video- although, hey! free choices- but there are people in the comments here saying such a mixed-orientation could "never work". This is simply not true. If a relationship is truly loving, whoever it involves, then it can work.

  3. Hey I don't understand why people have to hate on the mixed orientation married couple. Like they say they are happy in this relationship so who are we to judge. So everyone pls STOP

  4. People need to be more accepting, I am straight, but I support same sex attraction there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. This is garbage.

  5. If two dudes can hit asses raw and want to be accepted, so should these two. Stop the double standards. These people are trying hard and it works for them. God bless, Amen

  6. I wish they would expand on how a woman's sex life is when she is married or has a relationship with a man who is in the closet. My own experience for the past 4 years has been mind blowing, confusing and not like a normal relationship with a heterosexual male but he swears that he is not gay. This already flamboyant man when in a private environment has kept be feeling unwated and wrong for having female body parts, and everytime we were going to have some kind of intimacy he would always want to talk about my butthole (🤣) to get turned on rather than having an interest in a woman's private part. He seems to like boobs somewhat but is repulsed by female body fluids and he is okay with something as simple as a handjob as long he doesn't have to get sweaty or dirty. He's said he just has had bad experiences with vaginas either smelling or not being what he thought (whatever that means) his whole life and he is 36 and that the reason why we don't have a good sex life is because of how I treat him and has nothing to do with him not liking women. People are so complicated… why are things so hard 😭

  7. Nobody should be recommending mixed-orientation marriages. They cause needless pain 100% of the time and nearly always end in divorce. See the Straight Spouse Network. The stories are heart-rending. I was in one for 26 years. Much happier now that I have been married to a man for 12 years.

  8. The most angry people in society are practising homosexuals and militant feminists. They are just so angry all the time. They don’t seem very happy to me.

  9. Speaking for the 1990s and up generation:
    we will not spend our time praying in churches, mosques, synagogues etc…
    We will not waste energy despising people that are different from us nor will we outlaw activities that make them happy as long as it doesn't involve hurting living things.
    We will spend our time evolving science, technology, and preserving what is left of our wildlife and their natural habitats.
    We will party and enjoy the fruits of our labor.

  10. I was in a Mixed Orientation relationship once and I would say it was one of the best relationships I ever had. I would not mind being in a marriage like that. I support Gay men being themselves. Most straight men and "closet men" turn me off with all their Alpha male mumbo jumbo. Dick Gregory said it best…its like their trying to earn their manhood thur a girl's vagina which is pathetic!

  11. Propably yes, marriege is a compromise, and after gettign children sex is rarely in a couple, so yes i think if u find a good person to create family it can function, well even str8 couples have more sexual funn before marriege or in other relation lol
