It is possible, probably.

But it might have a difficult impact on any children, don't you feel?

well, yes difficult impact if the husband and wife have an understanding to live together short term.. (impact here being similar to a child who's parents are separated at youMr age)

But if the understanding is to live together long term, raise the child just as other parents do...(And at the same time husband and wife have their own life outside the house)....then not sure if that would impact the child...Will it still?

Here again, possibly, probably.

Children can be extremely cruel to each other and often are when they find a relationship they perceive to be a little different. Their sexual orientation might also suffer perhaps - really don't know as we have been married for 46 years, so I am only speculating here without any specialist knowledge whatsoever. But it is an interesting concept.

I have not seen it with that particular combination, but if I understand you correctly and the essence of what you are proposing is that they form a couple in every sense except that they have a sexual life outside their relationship, then I can almost guarantee you it will not work. I have seen many instances of heterosexual couples trying that and they always leave two things out:

1. At some point, they may start a sexual relationship with someone which grows to be so strong, it pulls them away from their core companion. And it rarely happens to both simultaneously, so one gets hurt, not to mention the children.

2. They always fail to take in account the other people, outside the couple, with whom they have sexual relations. Those people are not objects and they may just come to feel strongly enough that they want to form a couple with them. Conflict and complications ensue.

The proposal is incredibly naive. Have never seen it work.

I couldn't agree more with JR M. Well said.

As JR M says, from a psychological standpoint, it is an incredibly naïve proposition.

It would also be illegal in most countries as a marriage absolutely requires it to be consummated as well as fidelity amongst many of the obligations, leaving each partner vulnerable to an legal process by the other, just in case things go downhill.

Legally, I wouldn't be surprised if this is classified as a mariage blanc (white marriage) in most countries as a marriage brings many fiscal and other benefits by default.

The premis of the question is eronous. It is suggesting that the ideal family compostion is of an adult from either sex and that individuals who fall out of this catagory would still want to subscribe to this point of view.

If the question were asked in the context of two friends who wanted to build a family together but not have sexual intercourse (which is what happens in a lot of marriages after a certain time) than you could have a normal discussion.

However, the way in which this question is asked forces judgement on what is an acceptable family composition.

Are you asking this question for yourself, in which case talking to your partner would be the best place for this conversation, or is it out of your personal belief system ?

And to answer your question could two friends creat a positive and strong family without having a sexual component to thier relationship – in my opinon yes without a doubt. That is what a good relationship is based on.

@RahulA said nothing about friendship between two individuals, So, I don't think this is a case of marring a friend. 

The question is why they want to do this, if they both can find a partner with the same sexual orientation, get married and be happy for the rest of their lives . I think, may be, this gay lesbian marriage would  serve as a cover of their sexual preferences. I'm not sure that this "kind of marriage" initially built on lies could work

Thanks guys for your thoughts.

I think I've almost given up the search as I haven't found anyone :(

Well, marriage between two bisexuals can be very successful and, if truth be told, exists more often than you might imagine.  And not trumpeting the fact to the world isn't “lying”.

Don't give up, everyone deserves to find love if that is what they want. With all the different internet dating sites out there, surely there must exist one which would suit you.

Irrespective of sexual orientation, a large percentage of marriages end up with one or two persons involved “doing their own thing” at some point (check the latest news about the Ashley Madison affair for confirmation). This opens up the whole discussion of monogamy and how natural it is, etc; but let’s not go there. In the marriage configuration you propose at least the couple is not entering the contract under the incluence of love, but with cold calculated intentions.

The question is: what is your motivation for marrying a woman if you are gay man and if you live in a place (Europe) where you could indeed find love and sexual fulfillment in a person of the same sex, you could get married, start a family and be honest with yourself and with others?

I personally know marriages between a gay man and a lesbian woman (I won’t call them couples as they are not) who have had children. What I have observed is that such marriages were done before the 80’s (when such a thing may have been necessary to survive, have a job, a profession, a place in society). I have also observed that it is exhausting for everyone, including the children who are rarely told the truth about the parents’ arrangement. They got married to comply with social norms and expectations, and sometimes to even get other benefits such as immigration rights, employment entitlements, etc.

If someone’s motivation for marrying someone of the opposite sex is to comply with social norms, we should be aware that those same social norms will condemn and often destroy that person or their spouse when they are found “doing their own thing”. Yes, it will be discovered, and yes, the children will be the ones carrying most of the blunt for their whole lives.  

Not doing it for social norms. No family pressure or shIt. I was out a few years ago And my family has had no problem.

I don't enjoy company of men anymore (Neither sexual nor non sexual company)...so completely off men for more than a year now...I probably got into it but it took me years to realise I'm not enjoying men.....I wouldn't call my self straight as I don't feel like having physical relations with women as much as other men would do.

I wouldn't call my self gay as I don't feel attracted to men.

Asexual May be....May be not.

i've started enjoying the company of women....dated one for a few months but at some point I had to tell her about my past and she thought it was good to say bye.

A woman around me makes me feel complete and that's why I was wondering if there are some lesbian women who thinK alike And can live with a man ....not just fake marriage but real companianship

I think what you would be looking for is a bisexual wife. That way she is there for companionship and still does her thing on the other side if she wants. From your description of your situation I would classify you more as bisexual than gay dont you think?

Probably yes...or rather a Hetero-romantic bisexual girl

or hetero-romantic asexual girl

I don’t think these are particularly rare species, so if you keep your eyes open you should find one sooner or later and then live happy ever after.

Best of …

sorry I don't get the joke....?
