Relationship gay goals

Be on the same page, agree on how to split financial responsibilities, and plan how to handle money.

6. I often recommend the Barefoot Investor book for many of the couples I work with that have issues around money and want to develop a strong financial future.

7.

Get to know the LGBTQ+ allies in your community

Knowing there are allies in your community adds a sense of comfort to being openly out as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or non-binary individual and couple. Don’t forget to say it – I Love You – to each other every day.

Love is one of the five building blocks of an authentically happy, healthy, wealthy gay life.

6.

The more sex we have together, the closer we are as a couple, and that’s a goal every gay couple enjoys.

Being prepared for more sex more regularly can be a full-time job for whoever bottoms.

18. Come out to your friends and family

There’s a lot of strain in a relationship if one or both partners aren’t out, and it holds relationships back.

Adopt children together

There are over 1.5 million children in the foster care system, 1.5 million kids who’d love to have two daddies like you love them, too. Prioritise each other

Put your relationship first. You can inspire and encourage more in our community to follow your footsteps, causing the movement to grow by leaps and bounds.

March is brilliant, though. I offer affirming, compassionate couples therapy for LGBTQ couples.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—a proven approach designed to help couples move from conflict to connection—I help couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen intimacy. It’s all good. Whether you’re navigating monogamy, open relationships, or trying to break free from outdated gender roles, conflict can show up—even when there’s love.

In modern gay relationships, more couples are exploring non-monogamy, but that doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. When you stumble or get tripped up by life, you want to know your partner is there to catch you or help you up off the ground. Then, things get exciting!

16. Flirting is fun, and it keeps fun in your relationship.

Turn your phones off, hold hands and remember why you fell in love with them in the first place. Save for a fabulous retirement

Sadly, too many gay men email us as they’re rapidly approaching 65 years old, asking what they can do today to retire tomorrow. method

Another tool we’ve used to stay focused on our gay couple goals is what we call the Q.U.E.E.R.

From family of origin issues to societal stigma, gay men’s relationships can be shaped by outside forces in ways straight relationships aren’t.

Here’s why relationship advice needs to be tailored specifically for gay men and the LGBTQ community:

• Societal stigma and discrimination still impact gay male couples, even with progress like gay marriage legalization.

  It’s easy to default to only what’s necessary, but intentionally doing things for each other creates goodwill and feelings of being special.
