10,000 Couples was created in October 2009 as an online magazine dedicated to celebrating, affirming, and strengthening the commitment of gay and lesbian couples to one another and to their relationships. From that first encounter with "the one" to child-proofing your kitchen right through to financing your retirement, we strive to give each matter the seriousness and the humor you deserve.

Our mission is to impact positive decision-making and feelings by and between gay and lesbian couples. In so doing, we hope to gather strength, inspire young couples still finding each other, and destroy the distorted and distorting imagery so often used to diminish us. Why? Because we are and always have been in positive, healthy, and joy filled relationships and it is time those images get equal attention and equal care.
