Maybe you guys can help.
As we know, Male and female He created them (Genesis 1:27)
and He created marriage (Genesis 2:24), and Marriage, romantic love, is supposed to be an image of how Christ loves His "bride" (Ephesians 5 and Hosea 2 go into this analogy, Ephesians more or less saying it's a great mystery). It's the relationship we'll have forever, since there won't be marriage between men and women in eternity, only the marriage between Christ and His church.
For male Christians then, it's a male+male marriage relationship, which romantic love and even sex are to be an image of.
Yet that kind of relationship between 2 males is an abomination in the bible all over the place.
So how does this pan out? How is a romantic relationship between a man and a woman, how is sex, between a man and a woman, supposed to be an indicator and image of a relationship between what is ultimately 2 males?
I just get stuck on this hangup all the time.
I just imagine it's so much easier to deal with this relationship issue if you're a woman where you just know, Christ is your eternal husband and the perfect man, so there's no emasculating feelings or feeling of rejection because it's same sex.
