Ask a Marriage Blogger: Why Don’t You Write More About Gay Marriage

Hey,

I read your blogs all the time and I like them, but you don’t offer a lot of marriage advice for gay couples. I got the impression you supported gay marriage, so why don’t you write more about gay marriage and advice for gay couples?

Martin

Martin, thanks for writing and thanks for not minding if I answered you directly in the blog and I appreciate the conversation we’ve had on this topic. As it stands, this marriage blog is written for families.com and our material here is to be considered family appropriate. While I do support the right of all individuals to make the marriages they want, I also believe that the majority of the material we supply here in support of relationships, advice and more can apply to all couples – not just heterosexual ones.

In many respects, the articles we write here in the marriage blog focus on relationships and can be applied to many different kinds of relationships. The ingredients for a successful marriage relationship are also useful in maintaining a successful relationship with friends, with siblings, with parents and yes, even with your co-workers and your boss. Respect, trust and faith are three of the most powerful tools you have to help promote a successful relationship and I think we cover all of those topics very well.

As for writing about issues that directly impact gay married couples, I may not be the best person to provide that information considering that what I don’t know on the topic is pretty expansive. I will do my best to answer questions when I can and I will continue to help you track down some sources for the material you asked about.

I wouldn’t mind hearing from gay couples in successful marriages and relationships, because I’m always looking for good relationship tips. Thanks for writing and for asking! We appreciate it. Have a great day!
