Emotionally Focused Gay Couples Therapy (EFT)
Competition? Social Status? Finances?
Gay couples can face a unique set of challenges in their relationship. This could be specific to gender roles, which can sometimes breed competitive behaviors between the couple.
The challenges could also be specific to daily household tasks, including deciding who will take a leave of absence from work to raise potential children.
When straight couples encounter gender role issues, they have more access to resources and services to help them address these concerns. This is an area that gay couples have had less exposure to, and they often think they must navigate the course independently.
Gay couples may also confront issues regarding their sexual life. Perhaps sexual compatibility is an issue for you both. What do you do in this situation? The problem may be a significant obstacle in the relationship.
