First off, what kind of relationship does your partner want?
Is he looking for a sexual one? A platonic one? A lifelong one? A short-term one? A deep/one-soul relationship? A close-friends-but-not-soulmates one? A "just friends" one? A live-in relationship? A separate-housing relationship? A shared-finances relationship? A separate-finances relationship? With only two years' difference, your relationship likely isn't a boylove one, it's a "plain vanilla fag" gay one. Yes, gay lovers, like straight lovers, can be in the "taking care of your spouse" mode (historically, husbands "took care of" wives). You ask for Biblical advice. Based on your reading of the Bible and expert Biblical commentaries as well as your and your partner's prayers, what does God have to say on same-sex relationships? Does he prohibit consummating such relationships? Does he require you commit to being life partners first? Does he allow sex absent such a commitment? More importantly, what does God have to say about THIS relationship at THIS particular time in your lives? But for the same-gender-ness, your situation is no different than that of two teens or adults (I'm not sure your age, it doesn't matter) in your situation. Have you considered getting pastoral counseling, perhaps "pre-maritial" (eliminate the quotes if you can legally marry) counseling? Sorry if I'm a little light on actual answers, your question cannot be reasonably answered by someone who hasn't spent a lot of time with you, your partner, and God. |
