    Summary note
    "This is the first guide for lesbians that describes the pleasures and challenges of being part of a couple relationship. Beginning with issues of definition, the book charts the stages most couples go through: romance, conflict, commitment, collaboration. Some of the topics covered are common to all couples, such as working out issues of living arrangements, work, money, and time; others are specific to lesbian couples: coming out to family and friends, monogamy and non-monogamy, separateness and togetherness." -From publisher description.
