Same-Gender
Take The First Step Toward A Better Relationship What’s Involved in This Program?
The same-gender version of the OurRelationship program is a LGBTQ+ affirming online relationship program. Many same-gender couples feel they are not represented in the relationship services available to them. Thus, we designed this version to provide couples like you with a program that is inclusive, affirming, accessible, and culturally-sensitive to the needs of members of the LGBTQ+ community.
In our program for same-gender couples, you and your partner will work together on online activities to understand and solve your relationship issues. You’ll develop important communication skills, learn to reconnect and trust each other, and explore topics that same-gender couples potentially have to deal with – including discrimination and lack of support from family or colleagues. You can complete these activities on your own schedule and on your phone, computer, or tablet.
Do the OurRelationship Program Via Zoom With a Coach!
Your coach will help support you and your partner talk through difficult issues that come up during the program and celebrate the gains you’ve made. Your coach will also help tailor the online content to the specific needs of your relationship.
You’ll have four 20-minute Zoom video calls with your coach that will happen before, during, and at the end of the program. Daytime, evening, and weekend calls are available. You’ll have access to your coach for two months; after that time, you can finish the program on your own.
Our coaches will help you get the most out of OurRelationship program. On your Zoom video calls, we will help you identify your relationship issues so we can focus on how to solve them together. Because our coaches are not therapists, you won’t have to share any details about your relationship you don’t feel comfortable talking about.

Not interested in working with a coach?
No problem! Many of our couples prefer the privacy of working through their relationship difficulties on their own. We recommend you choose the option that is most comfortable for you and your partner.

How it Works In Four Simple Steps
Step 1 – Select a Program
The first step is to select from either starting the program with the coach or without a coach. After that, you’ll need to create an account to access our online material.
Step 2 – Get Started
Once you’ve registered you can begin to explore your program immediately. No matter which option you choose, you’ll get an online self-driven program designed to help you and your partner understand the problems in your relationship and how to solve them.
Step 3 – Learn and Grow
As you go through your program, you’ll complete lessons online on your own. After you’ve finished a section, you and your partner will come together to talk about what you’ve learned.
Step 4 – Put In The Time
Our programs can deliver real results, but it won’t happen overnight. Generally, these programs take between 7-8 hours to complete over the course of two months. In the program, we’ll teach you new ways to communicate and help you identify changes to strengthen your relationship. If you and your partner complete one of our programs, we’re confident that your relationship will improve.

- In these studies, the programs also improved symptoms for people who were feeling depressed, anxious, or having other problems.
- 94% of participants were satisfied with our program
- 97% of participants would recommend us to a friend.
Does My Partner Have To Do This Program With Me?
Our research has shown that these programs are most effective when both partners work on their relationship together.
If you already know that your partner won’t complete the program with you, click here to find out more about a version of the program you can do on your own.
If you’re not sure if your partner is willing to do this program with you, try the following ideas:
- Present it as a way to improve your relationship — not your partner.
- Remember to talk about how important your relationship is to you and that you’re invested in making it better.
- Encourage your partner to think about things he/she wants to change in your relationship – this program is a perfect opportunity to make that happen.
- If you’re worried your partner will feel cornered, write him/her a note, or email the site to your partner to look over.
This has been the first time in our marriage where we can both be completely honest with each other even knowing that honesty sometimes hurts. We have created a stronger bond together because of this.

During our “conversation” my wife and I felt so connected, because we saw the work that each us was willing to put in and more importantly express some of our hidden emotions in a constructive manner.
Evan
I wasn’t really expecting much from this program. My husband and I had gone to traditional therapy before with little success. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned about both of us and our relationship.
