Genesis, Matthew, and 1 Corinthians all fail to comment on homosexual marriage. At most, they describe an ideal that some of us cannot fulfill, but should do our best as we find ourselves capable of. I can say this with confidence because with the same breath that Christ says "Each man should have his own wife, and each woman have her own husband" he also says "the husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband". It is not two commands, but one, and I cannot fulfill the whole of it. One way to approximate it is, as you have done, obey the first half and fail at the second. another, equally logical, is to choose a partner such that you can obey the second half and fail part of the first.

Cat, perhaps you are strong enough to survive a heterosexual marriage without giving or receiving your due, but I am not. Homosexual marriage makes a concession to human challenges and imperfections in exact (or even lesser) proportion as does forcing heterosexual marriage on ourselves does. And the fact that God does not change our feelings supports this, along with the counter-proofs to homosexual condemnation elsewhere. This is the narrow path I see laid before me when I pray. And my response is "Let your will be done, Amen!"
