Lesbian couples
This is the first guide for lesbians that describes the pleasures and challenges of being part of a couple relationship. Beginning with issues of definition, the book charts the stages most couples go through: romance, conflict, commitment, collaboration. Some of the topics covered are common to all couples, such as working out issues of living arrangements, work, money and time; others are specific to lesbian couples: coming out to family and friends, monogamy and nonmonogamy, separateness and togetherness. Written Aq two experienced lesbian therapists, the book pays special attention to differences of race, class, age and physical ability, and addresses the problems caused when one or both partners are recovering from alcohol, substance and sexual abuse. Using a problem-solving techniques, "Lesbian Couples" is a thoroughly readable and extremely useful book, particularly its sections on understanding each other and resolving conflict. It's a book that every lesbian, whether coupled or not, will want to own.
