Working It Out: A Lesbian Relationship Primer

Relationships are both our source of deepest satisfaction and our greatest distress. While many books are written with the goal of helping couples, most are written with heterosexual relationships in mind. This workbook specifically addresses issues that lesbians face such as coming out, domestic partnership or marriage commitment, and the effects of homophobia (both internalized and external). Working It Out contains steps for overcoming these specific roadblocks, as well as information and exercises to develop your emotional bonds, your communication skills, your decision-making ease and your fair fighting abilities. Designed to further your understanding of and your connection to the one you love, it is written with humor, kindness and practicality to assist you in your quest for loving, healthy and successful relating.

This book is easy to read and has all kinds of self tests and tests to do with your partner to help you both grow and get to know one another better. And to help with conflicts too. Very well written and helpful. I will recommend it to all my friends.

5Very helpful for any relationships!!!  Feb 08, 2010
By Natalie Rogers
Inspiring and motivating " Working It Out" teaches vital concepts and tools for intimacy and connection. Frances Fuchs has a way of inviting the reader in, making her feel at home, then guiding her towards insight and mastery. Although this practical and loving approach to relationships is written for lesbians the ideas and exercises are useful for everyone. I really enjoyed the cartoons that adds humor to a very difficult topic -- making relationships work.

5Pragmatic with a sense of fun and play  Mar 28, 2010
By Susan Hoffman
Fuchs has great insight about human relationships and the alchemy that makes them work, or gets them stymied. Lesbian love relationships require attention and emotional nuance that is uniquely woman to woman. Her lucidity and concrete examples and exercises are grounded perfectly in the everyday, open to anyone who is willing to invest in their love partnerships.

4A relationship primer that's a breath of fresh air  Mar 25, 2010
By Rifka Elisa
Packed with common sense and practical wisdom, Frances's book 'Working It Out' is a breath of fresh air. Frances doesn't back away from the difficult truths of relationships but provides ways through these difficulties. And, at the same time, she recognizes that relationships are to be enjoyed! Delightful to read!
