Could you be with someone who had a physical disability
But however, when we're in a situation to where we're faced with image and the fact that if we love someone who has those things, we have to fall in love with the imperfections as well. Nobody's perfect, but we're all human as well. So I do think that if you decide not to date someone because of that, that is your business

You know, my husband is disabled, but I'm also disabled, but I wasn't always and I did not I could have looked for someone that didn't have a disability because mine is not where I can't walk or I can't go anywhere, I can't do anything. It's other things. However, I looked for someone, period, and I didn't care if they had a disability because I understand

Hey, this is a good topic. I can't say that, yes, I would be all in, or no, I wouldn't be. It would depend on the situation, and I think that the type of disability would factor into that decision. Because I have a friend, he's a pastor, and he has Ms. Now, aside from his Ms, he looks like a perfectly healthy guy, but but his Ms is advanced to the point where he would need assistance with everything

Hi, Kitha. I think I'm going to share the opinion of almost everyone here, especially what Tanya said. I never come across a situation like this where someone really likes me or I like the person. She has a disability and that is a case by case basis. I cannot say no now. I cannot say that it's open minded that depend on what kind of disability the person has. If it's already physical, I have to carry you every day

It's like about having human compassion, human compassion for humans. It's honestly about being a humanist at a point. Like you're dehumanizing them because they lack having ten fingers or ten toes, two ears or whatever. That's just not the way things work. So yeah, anybody could. In all actuality, you can love someone with a physical disability. So yeah, boo. See ya. Bye

And so they may not want to talk to me because of my weight, who knows, you know what I mean? Or because of my glasses or whatever. But for me, going in

Now, with the physical disabilities, I'm just going to be honest and say I guess it depends on what it is and what will be required of me and all that comes with it. So, yes, you could be two healthy young people who marry, and then life circumstances lead one or both of you to become disabled and you sign up for that for sure

And in fact, a woman was actually speaking at a conference last year and she had gotten engaged, and it was her second marriage later in life, and she was super excited in love. But the man contracted prostate cancer and he was going to have his prostate removed in order to save his life. Without a prostate, there is zero chance of having an erection. And she sat down with her pastors, even with him, and really realized that she did not want to be in a sexless marriage

Because dependency is a pride for a man. I'm not saying this Lekea bragging, but that is the way it is. That's natural. Like a woman also has a pride of having the body part functioning. So if you married a woman, I may marry the man. You as a woman. You married a man and then you did not know that he cannot function sexually. Then you find out later, after you sign. Now you face a dilemma

And that's the truth of it, because it was an inside out thing and that's how love should be if it's going to last. Those things just become a part of the person and you even love the person because of them, practically. I know that all sounds cliche, but it really is true. It's a part of their journey. It's part of who they are, her. So, yeah, it definitely is not out of the range of a possibility for me

But if I were to get married and they're discovered on our wedding night that he could not have sex, then I'm very much within my right to walk away, because at that point, the marriage has not been consummated. And I think that no one should feel guilty about that. Now, once you're married, like you're in the marriage, it's been consummated and then something happens and this person is unable to have sex

If you have a real connection with that person, you it's going to come down to care, it's going to come down to understanding that you may have to do a bit more from this person, from mobility and just helping them physically. But that shouldn't be a problem if the foundation of compassion and love is there to begin with. So I think it's 100% possible. And you never know. You can't really control who you love

But in the end, it just didn't work because it just didn't work. Whether he had any physical issues or not, it just didn't work. And it's a little different when it's mental because the mental, it's hard work. Yes, both are hard work, but a person could be physically disabled or have issues and you know that their heart is pure, their mind is pure. But a person who has mental issues, they could be fine, they can be beautiful
