great personal story

The struggle and growth between 2 people committed to staying married while supporting Barry's bisexuality has encouraged and challenged me. I admire Alice as a woman committed to a man that others might be quick to leave. Alice is my hero.

On Extended Families, Childcare, Partnership and Sexuality.

I came to Barry and Alice searching to understand and then provide nurturing support for my bisexual friends. The authors reveal that our forms of sharing love and sexuality are as complex and unique as each individual. They also show that if our uniqueness is nurtured and supported, then partnerships can exist in an atmosphere of openness, honesty and change. Yet what I have come to use the book for is as a guide for raising children. Barry and Alice's child experiences an equitable sharing of an extended family of loving support. Their family model stresses individuality, community and cooperation. Thus the authors illustrate an expanded understanding of family, as well as a key to being truly partnered, by the daily choice to transform together.
