The Go-To Relationship Guide for Gay Men: From Honeymoon to Lasting Commitment
Gay relationships are different.
Many of us didn't have queer elders as role models. Some of us have faced personal and societal trauma or felt lost in a Second Queer Adolescence. We can't simply squeeze ourselves into the heteronormative structures we've been offered and expect to find happiness.
Weaving theory with personal experience and case studies, this workbook gives you the tools to build a rich, deep, gay relationship. Adapted from the Bader/Pearson developmental model of relationship therapy, and suitable for those practicing both monogamy and alternative relationship structures, this guide supports you from the first flush of the honeymoon to a place of real commitment.

lots of anecdotes and interesting prompts. this book reads more like a workbook with questions and “homework” in between relationship dilemmas and development models. You can do answer them with your partner or alone. Lots of it didn’t really apply to me at this time but i read it as a way to do some preventative self work and i like knowing this resource exists should i ever need it

DON’T READ THIS BOOK…
Just once… read it fully through once and let it percolate and then read it second time focusing on those areas that may need your attention. The power in this book are the questions that are posed - questions you may not know existed or ever dared to ask. As a bonus, the author allows us a peek behind the curtain into his private life creating a sense of trust as someone who “walks the walk” of the blueprint this book lays out. An exceptional read destined to become a classic. So hoping for a sequel!!!

Amazing combo of practical advice grounded in research and experience. And so few gay relationship books out there.
