1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,560 S1: Bob writes Gary, my son has recently told us that 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,520 S1: he's gay. I'm having a very hard time dealing with it. 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,320 S2: Any parent tends to be disappointed when they hear that 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,840 S2: one of their children indicates to them that they are gay. 5 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,000 S2: Men and women are made for each other. It is 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,720 S2: God's design, and anything other than that is outside that 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,000 S2: primary design of God. Now, I'm not going to try 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,040 S2: to explain all the ins and outs of homosexuality. What 9 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,120 S2: I am saying is this we love our children no 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,560 S2: matter what. And I would say you express your disappointment, 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,320 S2: your lack of understanding of how this could be. But 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,200 S2: you say to them, I want you to know I 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,400 S2: love you and I will go on loving you. I 14 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,800 S2: would ask that you do some serious reading, or that 15 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,080 S2: you go talk with a counselor about this and try 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,200 S2: to understand yourself better. But I want you to know 17 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,839 S2: I love you no matter what. That's the approach I 18 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,040 S2: would encourage you to take. 19 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,880 S3: Doctor Gary Chapman is the author of the Five Love Languages. 20 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,200 S3: For more answers, visit Start Marriage Right.com.
