The Importance of Same-Sex Friendships

My friend Roy Keely wrote on his blog today some things that I have thought about but have not been clever enough to articulate. He avers that, assuming you have healthy friendships:

When men do not connect/hang/love other men they:

•don’t lead
•their aspirations fizzle
•they stare at porn
•they get fat and watch reality TV with their wife or girlfriend
•we never meet expectations, not even our own

When women do not connect/hang/love other women they;

•become nags
•they crave control, if they lose it they become more of #1
•they hate both men and women
•their expectations get higher, no-one can ever meet them

In the end this boils down to where the gospel is meeting you….and if you are meeting with the gospel I believe it eventually leads to healthy same-sex relationships.
