What LGBTQ+ Relationships Can Coach Us About Love
Lesson 1: A fairer split of household jobs
Gender stereotypes can be a breeding soil for dissatisfaction in relationships. Inequalities in pay, expectations around childcare and historical perceptions of gender roles at home can all cause resentment, miscommunication and tension.
According to a analyze authored by Daniel Carlson and colleagues, relationship quality and stability is generally highest when couples are happy with their divisions of labor and detect them equitable and just. This is often the case with same-sex couples. In their study, Abbie E. Goldberg and Maureen Perry-Jenkins found that homosexual couples are much more willing to share traditionally ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’ roles at home alongside routine tasks.
In contrast, research on heterosexual relationships consistently shows that the responsibility for domestic chores falls disproportionately onto women. Men are far more likely to overestimate the time they spend on chores, while women underestimate their time.
LGBTQ+ parents are also more likely to mutually interact with their children, whereas in heterosexual relationships, parentood can highlight furthe
Gays can have more reliable relationships than their direct counterparts. This is a finding from one of my research studies. Two convenience samples were interviewed. The first group consisted of gays and lesbians. The second group included heterosexuals. Requests for participants interested in discussing personal relationships were requested in Phoenix Arizona and St. Petersburg, Florida. It was a convenience sample consisting of 200 people. One hundred gays and lesbians were interviewed as skillfully as one hundred heterosexuals. Initial contact was made by phone, and interviews ranged in length from 45 minutes to 2 hours each.
When asked about their love lives, gays were more likely to have long term relationships. In fact, 59% had been in a balanced, loving relationship for three or more years. They were very committed to their significant others and reported high levels of joy in their lives. Only 19% admitted to cheating on a loved one, which is much lower than the national average.
Though gays did express that they dealt with increased stress levels due to societal attitudes, they were more likely to report being content and living happy lives. The people I interviewed stressed t

Married heterosexual couples can learn a great deal from gay and sapphic couples, far more than the stereotypical images presented by the television reveal “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” according to the first published observational studies of homosexual relationships.
“Gay and lesbian couples are a lot more mature, more considerate in trying to improve a connection and have a greater awareness of equality in a relationship than vertical couples,” said John Gottman, a University of Washington emeritus professor of psychology who directed the explore along with Robert Levenson, a University of California, Berkeley, psychology professor.
“I ponder that in 200 years heterosexual relationships will be where gay and womxn loving womxn relationships are today,” said Gottman, who now heads the Relationship Research Institute in Seattle.

Are gay romantic relationships more or less stable than different-sex relationships? And are changes in legislation and cultural attitudes towards same-sex relationships affecting their stability? Today, sexual minorities are start to enjoy some of the same privileges as straight couples, such as legal marriage and protection against employment and housing discrimination in many states. In light of these changes, a fresh see at same-sex relationships and their long-term stability makes sense.
American attitudes towards homosexual relationships today are more supportive than they’ve ever been.Approval of same-sex relationships has been steadily rising since 2009 (Pew Analyze Center, 2017), and the 2015 Supreme Court judgment endorsing same-sex marriage was a win for many lesbian, gay, and pansexual (LGB) individuals. With these social and legal advances, new attention to the stability of same-sex relationships is warranted.
