A Short Guide to a Happy Marriage : The Gay Edition

A long and happy committed relationship can be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences in life - but it doesn’t always come easily. In her work with gay couples, marriage and family therapist Sharon Gilchrest O’Neill has seen unique and complicated challenges due to pervasive social and self acceptance issues. There are often feelings of isolation from families of origin, in workplaces, and other social environments, making a shared life together anything but simple at times. Couples can become bored, tired, frustrated, or even led astray from one another. And, for those not yet allowed to legally marry, there are critical issues and questions of how to meet normal safety and security needs over a couple’s lifespan.

The author of this guide has developed 20 inspiring and simple yet effective suggestions to help couples grow together in mutual admiration, support, and respect - and rekindle their love.
