Gay Couples Institute: Creating Healthy Gay and Lesbian Partnerships... One Family At A Time

Current Projects:

2008:

  • Summer 2008 we'll begin by continuing John Gottman's research on couples, specifically examining the physiological overwhelm same-sex couples (gay and lesbian) experience when discussing infidelity.

2009:

  • Each year more same-sex couples become parents. Nearly two-thirds of heterosexual couples report a decline in the happiness of their marriage after the birth of a child. During 2009 we'll begin researching same-sex parents to investigate if the same decline in relationship happiness occurs.
