Gay couples are similar to straight couples in almost every way. The lack of an established societal infrastructure creates stress for some couples, but these couples will overcome this, if they create they our support and social circles. This is difficult in rural areas.
The lack of a durable legal framework that protects and recognizes the rights of gay couples is probably the biggest threat. Most gay couples survive and thrive 'in spite' of a legal system which is usually antagonistic of opposed to their family's survival.
Some couples with severe disparities are particularly vulnerable to the lack of external repsect or support. For example, sero-diverse couple (one is HIV+, one is HIV-) have trouble with insurance issues and stigma.
Bi-national couples might face deportation and threats at work, without the right to share immigration benefits via marriage, etc.

Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

I think you probably know that there is no ONE answer to this question. The only way to find out would be to do a world-wide survey. And even THEN you'd have to assume that they'd all be telling the truth.

Speaking personally and honestly of my relationship it tends to be spirituality and how the other understands it.

In my experience it is reality when it comes to money and what to do with it. Everything else is just an adventure.
