Together Forever
Gay and Lesbian Couples Share Their Secrets for Lasting Happiness
Eric Marcus
Traveling across the United States, Eric Marcus met and interviewed forty gay and lesbian couples who have achieved the dream of a happy, lasting relationship. InTogether Forever, Marcus writes about their lives and the secrets to long-term happiness these couples have learned over the nine to fifty years they’ve been together. FromTogether Forever: On Meeting: ‘I said to myself, ‘That’s it. ‘ I don’t know what ‘it’ was, but there was just something that was apparent to me right then–it was just a very deep sense of recognition that something was there that you had looked for all of your life. And it was there when you least expected it. ‘–Anyda, eighty-six On Difference: ‘The icing on the cake was after we had sex, after this very lovely experience with Curt, he said, ‘Do you want milk and cookies?’ And I thought, He’s like a big girl, you know? And we’re sharing vanilla wafers and milk in bed. And I finally got it at that point. That leather coat, the jeans, everything, it was just a fashion statement. ‘–Brian, thirty-five On Monogamy: ‘I really believed in nonmonogamy as an ideal…I still think if we worked really hard on making nonmonogamy work, we could probably do it, but I can probably learn Chinese, too. Look, I’m a vegetarian, but I still have a leather couch. No one’s perfect.’–Lindsy, fifty-two On What Makes a Happy Relationship: ‘I feel that it’s the same secret between a gay couple or a lesbian couple as a heterosexual couple. It’s sharing. It’s giving a little, taking a little. Because if everything is going to be only about me, me, me, it’s not going to be a good relationship. ‘–Stewart, forty-four Most people long for a lasting love relationship. The couples inTogether Foreverhave found it. Their experiences offer lessons to us all.
