What began a little over a year ago as a business call to lesbians via MySpace has bloomed into love.

Welcome! We are a monthly e-zine for and about gay and lesbian couples celebrating and inspiring healthy same-sex relationships, homes, families, community living and marriage equality worldwide. We are excited about 2010. It will be a big year for us, for marriage equality and we hope it will be for you as well. Thank you for sharing some of this year with 10,000 Couples. Each month we strive to reflect the best of our lives through stories, profiles, articles, commentary, and news. We recently launched a new visibility campaign, made some wonderful new friends and are journeying to improve the site for your use and enjoyment. Thanks for taking this journey with us.  Now, enjoy the current issue; especially the compelling "I Am the Face of Marriage Equality" series.

Find out more about 10,000 Couples and why it's important on our ABOUT US page.
