  • "The goals of this book are to enable a person to gain perspective on a relationship that she or he may have grown too close to, to identify the particular relationship stressors that may be inhibiting growth in a partnership, and to develop new options for dealing with those stressors. More specifically, the book discusses ways of establishing compatibility, learning to diagnose the underlying issues of the relationship, the effects of internalized homophobia, ways to improve communication with your partner, how to negotiate your way out of power struggles, the enlivening effect of constructive fighting, how jealousy can hurt and help your partnership, sexual issues, financial arrangements and legal issues, the role of families in your relationship, having children, and dealing with change in your partnership."
  • "Today, more than ever before, gay and lesbian couples want long-lasting, fulfilling, happy relationships. But in order to accomplish this, the notion of "partnership" itself must be radically reinvented. Gay men and lesbians must learn to imbue relationships with the same importance that their heterosexual counterparts do--in a society that still offers none of the same support. This book, written by a psychotherapist who specializes in working with lesbian and gay male couples, offers clear, compassionate advice and counseling on the internal and external problems faced by two men or two women as they create a life together. Warmly supportive, Dr. Betty Berzon draws on real-life examples from her professional practice and her own long-term partnership to help couples improve communication, "fight fair," resolve conflicts, and affirm both their love and their commitment in a relationship that works today, tomorrow, and forever.--From publisher description."
