| dc.description.abstract | Egodystonic type homosexuality is a condition where the individual has
internal conflicts over his homosexual behavior. Therefore, not a few
egodystonic homosexuals hide their sexual orientation by marrying the
opposite sex, which we call heterosexual marriage. This study aims to
analyze homosexuals engaged in heterosexual marriage, and the effect
on their marital life. The method used in this research is a
literature study. This study also analyzes the Christian view of
homosexuals who are involved in heterosexual marriages. The result of
this study is that humans were created as heterosexual beings, starting
with the creation of Adam and Eve. The purpose of creating two sexes is
to execute the reproductive function and for humans to not fall into
sexual sin. In Christian’s view, it is stated that homosexual relationship
is an abomination and forbidden. Marriage in Christianity is a sacred
covenant before God. Homosexuals who engage in heterosexual
marriages will have lots of conflicts, including having problems with
themselves and their partners. Homosexuals in heterosexual marriage are
recommended to take intensive consultation with marriage counselors,
for marital happiness. | en_US |
