这项研究探索了106个领养家庭的夫妻关系的一些动态，领养家庭包括29个男同性恋、27个女同性恋和50对有年幼孩子的异性恋夫妇。不管性取向如何，大多数夫妇都表示有长期的关系、安全的依恋和很高的关系满意度。父母的性取向与夫妻报告发生性关系的频率有关。女同性恋夫妇报告的性行为频率最低，而同性恋夫妇报告的性行为频率最高。然而，性关系满意度并不随父母的性取向而有所不同。总体关系满意度与性满意度、性关系频率和更高的依恋安全感显著相关。我们在早先关于性取向、父母教养和夫妻关系的研究的背景下讨论了这些结果。
This study explored some dynamics of couples' relationships in 106 adoptive families headed by 29 gay, 27 lesbian, and 50 heterosexual couples with young children. Regardless of sexual orientation, most couples reported long-term relationships, secure attachments, and high relationship satisfaction. Parental sexual orientation was related to how often couples reported having sex. Lesbian couples reported having sex the least often, while gay couples reported having sex the most often. Sexual relationship satisfaction did not, however, differ as a function of parental sexual orientation. Overall relationship satisfaction was significantly correlated with sexual satisfaction, frequency of sexual relations, and greater attachment security. We discuss these results in context of earlier research on sexual orientation, parenting, and couple relationships.
