This book looks at the surprisingly strong case for couples to live separately. With the amount of breakups, affairs, divorces and separations at an all-time high, it is high time to reimagine what relationships should look like. Our traditional concept of the 'correct' romantic progression has generally followed a rigid scheme of meeting someone, falling in love, moving in together and then potentially getting married to start a family. Often the time spent living apart in a relationship is quickly eclipsed by the time spent living together.

But now, more and more couples are choosing to "live apart together." It doesn't mean they don't love each other, but rather they are assessing the best ways they can be the healthiest partners and sometimes that just involves having your own space.
