HOW HAS SAME GENDER LOVING DEFINEDYOUR RELATIONSHIP? We don’t know that same gender loving has defined our relationship. We would venture to say that we are defining it...we are the definition of same gender loving. HOW DOYOU MAINTAIN A STRONG AND CONTINUOUS RELATIONSHIP AFTER IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES? We believe in the adage“agree to disagree”. Being able to respect the other’s viewpoint, while maintaining your own is the strength. Having that level of common respect and understanding helps the relationship to continue and grow. There will always be differences; it’s how you deal with the differences that make the difference. HOW HAS RELIGION MADEYOUR RELATIONSHIP A SUCCESS EVEN IF IT HAS IT’S CONFLICT? Having a spiritual connection with each other has been very nstrumental in our relationship growth. From a religion stand-pointwe have not always seen eye-to-eye. However, there has always been mutual respect for the other’s belief. Religion is just the doctrine. Spirituality is the essence and soul. The essence and the soul is where we connect. INYOUR MODERN FAMILY HOW DOESTHE RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING A FATHER PLAY A ROLE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
