Most lesbian couples I know struggle with similar issues.  While we all certainly put together very different looking relationships with our unique personalities, interests, and ways of relating - we are not all that unique in our "issues."  It has been my experience that most lesbians struggle with at least one or more of the following, particularly after they commit, or move in together!

1.  Differing sex drives / libidos

2.  Sexual or emotional infidelity, affairs, or unfaithfulness

3.  Negotiating how "out" you are with family

4.  Loss of passion, or no longer feel "in love",  more like "sisters"

5.  Jealousy related to friends, and ex's

6.  Frustrated with partner's lack of responsibility to relationship

7.  "She won't open up to me" / poor communication

8.  Constant bickering

9.  Feeling controlled

10.  Loss of independence / individuality

If you want to work on any of the above issues, a very good, cost-effective solution is to do The Lesbian Couple's Weekend.  This is a two-day experience (9am-5pm), that can best be described as a relationship class for lesbian couples.  This two-day adventure is a  crash-course in how to improve your connection and create better relationships.  While it's a whole lot more fun than couple's counseling, it delivers the same benefit that you could expect after about three months of consistent couple's counseling sessions.
