A Study of the Positive Strategies Used in Long-term Same-sex Couple Relationship in Taiwan

面對國內集體價值的家族主義，外界制度性支持的缺乏，同志長期伴侶面臨關係經營的困境如何化險為夷，一直是許多同志伴侶與助人工作者關心的議題。對此，本研究採立意取樣進行對偶研究，調查交往10年以上，長期維持親密關係的同志伴侶，共計男／女同志伴侶各5對，共同接受1∼2小時的深入訪談。研究結果發現，同志長期伴侶關係正向經營策略可從掙脫傳統伴侶關係框架、強化伴侶關係的情感認定，以及挑戰既有的性別秩序，彰顯出同志長期伴侶高度的意願與韌性，即以正面積極、堅持不放棄的態度，持續選擇對方，嘗試在既有性別秩序與社會化經驗中突破「應該」、「既有」的角色框架，創造多元協調、相互平等的容忍與改變的可能性。

How do same-sex couples maintain their relationship while facing the unfriendly societal system, traditional family values, and lack of support from the outside world? This has been an issue concerned by same-sex couples and the helping professionals. The researcher used purposive sampling to conduct 1 to 2 hours in-depth interviews with five male couples and five female couples whose relationships have lasted more than 10 years. The results showed that those couples try to struggle free from the traditional couple relationship, to strengthen their emotional identity, and to challenge the existing gender order. With a positive and assertive attitude, showing great willingness and resilience, they kept staying with each other, without giving up, and to break free from traditional gender roles to create multi-possibilities.
