According to researchers, between 2% and 11% of human adults are reported to be experiencing some homosexual feelings, though the figure often varies according to a survey. It exists across cultures and also to the animal kingdom according to the mammoth new review paper on homosexuality author. The big question is, what makes explicitly someone become gay? Is it their choice or something inborn? Is there a gay gene? Or is homosexuality caused by environmental factors such as child molestation, upbringing, and an affectionate father or an absent mother? Below are scientific researches contacted by some scientists? Be my guest and enjoy the reading.

Is Being Gay a Choice?

It has been a complicated thing to consider whether being gay is a choice. It appears that same-sex sexual attraction is not a choice, but acting on it is: So if you define gay as the meager presence of same-sex attraction, then it’s good to understand that being gay is not a choice.

After many interviews, most gay people have confessed that being gay is not something they chose to be. And that makes sense since you can also wonder how anyone would have the guts to decide to be something that could cause them to be contempt by society, denied by their families, deprived of rights, and subjected to probable violent hate crimes. Does this mean all being gay is negative? Absolutely no. 

Most of the gays attest that they have never being more fulfilled or happier when they came out. 

Some lesbians agree that being gay is a choice, especially those who were in marriage before they indulged in it. Others are angered; they do not like to hear people saying such a thing. For instant, the retired football player was scorned by lesbians and the gay community when she confessed that being gay was her choice during her interview with Gay.com. 

Many gays would argue that to become gay is not an option one makes, but whether to act on it is. One of them quoted this, “We don’t choose our sexual orientation, but what we choose whether or not come out of the closet.” Scientific organizations argue that homosexuality is not a choice one makes, but is biology plays a significant role. 

The National Mental Health Associate says that most researchers consider that sexual orientation is multifaceted and that biology plays a vital role. This means that many people either established it at an early age or born with their sexual orientation. 

Scientists studied the two types of twins (fraternal and identical) to try to examine if being gay is biologically determined. After the research, they concluded that people with identical genetic makeup (identical twins) are more prone to share sexual orientation than the one with different genetic makeup (fraternal twins). So genetic alone cannot cause sexual orientation, but they play a part. 
Despite biological research and social research, science, up-to-date, it is still not known what causes somebody to be gay. 

Being in a marriage is not just a walk in the park. It requires an iron heart and a lot of sacrifice for you to survive. Do you still have doubts with this? OK, ask the divorcees, they will explain to you better. It is very simple for you to walk in the aisle take the marriage vows.

By the way, if marriage is so sweet, why take the vows? You know it? They indicate that the high possibility of calling it quits is high since marriage life has ups and downs and not made for faint-hearted fellows. It is good to look ahead to the marriage but not the wedding. Many people are wedding lovers but not marriage. That is why most marriages don’t even take a month without hearing of divorce. How many marriages have been seen coming to a halt even a day after the honeymoon trip? Indeed very many. My dear one, living with someone you were never brought up together is not a small deal, it’s a vast one.

1. Financial struggle

If you happen to be asked a number one cause of marriage breaker, never forget to shout, ‘financial issues. Yes, it is said that money is the root of all evils. Do you agree with this sentiment?  If not, give yourself time and think about it. Many families have come to the dead-end due to financial quarrels.

 It mostly happens if the couples are all working and have disagreements when sharing responsibilities. The only secret couples need to know is that; money has no power over-commitment of their marriage. For you to end wrangles which comes with money, you following tips below and thank me later.

• You should never have secrets over your financial status. Putting whatever you earn by the end of the day on the table work miracles. When your spouse is aware of the amount of income you earn as a salary or whatever you do for a living, builds trust with you and accommodates any change of lifestyle in case of financial crisis. This kills financial misunderstandings.

• Live simply; Live to your standard. Copying others’ lifestyle may eventually result in disappointments. Have witnessed many marriages coming to an end simply because of the desire to misunderstandings. This leads to an unhealthy marriage.

• Commit to a plan; Living in a marriage with no plans is like that biblical lad who built his house on sand, what would eventually happen? It would crumble after a rainfall. Would you wish for such marriage? Absolutely NO. Then engage your marriage into future plans.

2. Immaturity

If you are behaving the same way you used to during the first days of marriage, then this is the right  time you should wake up to a bitter truth that your marriage is stagnant. In fact marriage should grow as it ages. Both of you should cultivate for your marriage as though your life depends on it bearing in mind the repercussion which comes with a divorce.

3. Unfaithfulness

Have we said financial issues comes number one when it comes to marital challenges? Unfaithfulness then is ranked as the second. It is not a must to be a womanizer or date other men outside wedlock, but depriving your marriage partner time, attention, priorities, and poor management of resources, is being unfaithful. The best way of dealing with this marital killer vice is to recommit yourself to your partner, woo him/her once again. Prioritize on your marriage above everything and steer all your time and attention to it and the results will come shouting.

4. Sickness

You never know the importance of your partner until he/she physically breaks down. It is agonizing, but does it mean that you should call it quits when this happens? No. This kind of challenge should send you back to the pulpit and remind you of the vows you made; For good for worse. It is termed as the chief aim of marriage after procreation. It is the time when your partner needs you the most. They do say, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Remember you are not only a friend to your partner but the better half if I may call it. It is tough for you to handle everything, but it is an obvious willing spirit, that makes all the difference.

5. Depression

Never complain of ‘the blues’ when it comes your way. My dear, it is common for everyone in their lifetime. What makes a difference in many marriages is developing a servant’s heart; going for the extra mile and putting your partner’s needs ahead of your own. Because God is the founder of all marriages, seek help from Him and depression will be a forgone case. Be a conduit of that joy to your spouse and if need be, seek medical attention. Don’t wait till it is too late to control.

No one wishes to have a broken marriage, but laziness and lack of respect to each other makes the other partner think that they had made one of the worst decisions of deciding to tie knots. Let it not reach that far when you can make everything work again.
