I just don't understand why he would give me these attractions then say I can't act on them. I see no reason to make people gay if they can't actually be gay.

That's a good way of thinking about it, thank you.

I see what you are saying but I disagree that just not dating women would be no different than you resisting women because you are already married and that is because the only thing that would be stopping me would be myself but you have a lot more hanging on the line. That may just be because I am young and immature though that I see it that way. God made me bisexual so I don't see why I have to not act on my attraction to women as long as it's lawful and healthy.

To me it is about finding someone I want to spend eternity with.

Hello, my name is Mara and I have some hesitations. I apologize if my wording of this topic's title was offensive, it is just truly something I wonder. I am a 17 year old bisexual Mormon. So with being bisexual there comes the possibility that I could fall in love with and my life partner could be a woman. This leads me to think about possibilities like if my life partner is a woman, I'll want to marry her but remain a member of the church. I heard about a gay couple where they were both members and when the two men were married, they were forbidden from participating in any temple visits but allowed to continue coming to church. I see this is a very real possibility for myself. I don't want to live a half-life and never get married, and despite what the church says I don't believe gay sex to be a sin as long as its consensual and the two partners are married. So I am asking the people of MormonHub to reply with their temple stories and asking how being sealed to your spouse has blessed your life and if I should deny my attractions to women and only pursue men to be able to stay allowed in the temple. I have never been to the temple so I have no experiences with how great it is or isn't.
