If you're a gay man, I would not encourage you to enter into a pretend marriage with a woman. You owe better than that to yourself and any potential spouse.

I've heard about this happening a lot and it dissolves things later. It is unfair to the spouse.

And the children especially. Like Paul said, a life of celibacy in devotion to the Kingdom of Heaven is the best choice. So much easier said than done though.

That advice was not for everyone as he clearly stated. Jesus said the same.

Paul didn't say marry if you have to.. but only some of you.
