In this lifetime: A narrative inquiry examining older, Black, same‐gender‐loving male couples’ relationship resiliency and longevity

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This narrative inquiry examines the humanistic experiences of three Black, same‐gender‐loving (SGL) male couples to understand what contributes to their resiliency and longevity. Through quare theory as an analytical frame for thematic analysis, findings highlighted storytellers’ eras of assimilation, respect, and wisdom as tools for fostering relationship resiliency and longevity. Counseling practitioners, educators, and researchers are encouraged to broach and avoid reductionist viewpoints when cultivating belongingness and improving and maintaining connections with this population.
