Summary of Lesbian Couples: A Guide to Creating Healthy Relationships

Two experienced lesbian therapists give lesbian couples the tools they need to handle issues such as living arrangements, work, money, coming out, and conflict resolution. Included is new material that addresses personal and community issues such as monogamy and open relationships, transgender identity, bisexuality, butch-femme roles, and s/m.
Surely there are couples who don't need books like this: blessed as they are with flawless unions, enduring passion, and equitable chore distributions, with never a sharp word, a demanding ex-lover, or a roving eye. The rest of us can consult Clunis and Green every 45 minutes. With sections on building intimacy, making decisions, communicating, and addressing issues of race and age difference, among other topics, Lesbian Couples at least touches on most of the conflicts that a lesbian couple will face (a list of resources at the back will help readers pursue specific interests). The chapter on conflict resolution is exceptional, but the chapter on sex seems brief and perfunctory by comparison, perhaps because it has been written about so extensively elsewhere. This major revision of a lesbian self-help classic may be illuminating not only for couples but also for single women hoping to build the qualities needed for successful relationships, especially in the wake of a break-up. --Regina Marler
