Together Forever

About this book

Traveling all across the United States, Eric Marcus has met and spoken with forty deeply committed, happy gay and lesbian couples who have been together between nine and fifty years. Together Forever sits down with these forty couples who have successfully built happy, fulfilling lives and asks them how they've accomplished what many thought - and often still think - is impossible. How did they meet? How have they overcome their differences and survived the rough spots? How great a burden has anti-gay prejudice been in their lives? What kinds of relationships have they forged with their families, children, neighbors, and colleagues? Are there any real secrets to having a happy relationship?
