I read the news media magazine, The Week.
One of the articles states, a French couple live apart ,and they don't shop together; in fact they have kept their lives deliberately separate (except for the obvious), and it has kept the romance and passion alive. They adore each other.
It states, they have been married since 1993.

Hi cutiepie,
I'm not sure where that happens, but you don't even need a house do you?

Hello modewjam,
I don't think we can make a blanket statement about men. they are all different, as we women are. Thank goodness!However, I think I know what you are talking about.
Thank you for answering my question.

Whether or not its the right thing to do for them or anyone else .. I am sure it would keep the romance alive more than if living together ...
Its like getting the best of someone without having to put up with the bad habits and stuff that get on your nerves.
Some people would rather argue everyday ... I would rather not.

A partner couldn't say husband/wife because that term is reserved for people who are married. Marriage is legally binding and divorce has to be done through the courts. Couples who are not married call each otherpartners. They are not legally bound and can separate and go their own ways if and when they want. Their partnership can be dissolved outwith the law. As for telling children that they are illegitimate, that chore is left to the cruel and downright nasty. They take great delight in hurting the vulnerable. In most cases, it's none of their business in the first place.

I've been married since 1984, my hubby and I absolutely love and adore each other, the romance is very much alive and wonderful now as it was when we first met, but we are soul mates too, hardly think that French couple are if they live apart.

I think it works cause you don't get the opportunity to feel smothered and tired by someone. That would take alot of trust from both partners though. Thats the main reason why women want their men around constantly anyway, so they can keep up with his every move, like his money, his friends, his whereabouts and so on and men just like having a good cooked meal every once in while and they like their sex to already be home whenever they are ready.

Something like that seems more like lust rather than love.
I love living with my husband, and wouldn't change it for the world. We are prone to spend about 6 months apart due to his job, but I don't think that really helps to keep the romance alive. All it does is remind me not to take his everyday presence for granted when he's home.
Good question.

They probably have sharing issues. Most people master this in preschool. Perhaps they were both the 'only child' and never got over themselves. If it works for them, fine. But marriage is for growth. How do you grow when you only have your mirror image to give you feedback? Only hardy soldiers can live together and remain "alive" in a marriage. They sound pretty wimpy and self-absorbed to me. The fact that they come together only for physical needs tends to strongly suggest this.

i think its a wonderful idea...in a relationship its so important to retain your own independent nature...and sadly it just doesnt happen when 2 different people live in a small space for too long...im sure it keeps everything alive...always fresh....nice question...
i know a woman who lived with her husband in their house and they started to have serious marital problems...they had a bit of land so they got him a big mobile home and he moved in to that on the same land as the house...and they are still going strong after 20 years...it works!.

This is absolutely unacceptable for me and my beloved one. We've been together for five years and have rarely parted even for a day - e.g. when I had appendectomy last year and had to stay in a hospital for a few days - it was terrible.
And there's lots of romance, passion and happiness in our relationship.
btw, I'm an only child.

my sister isn't married but, both her and her partner are perfectly happy living seperately, just seeing eachother at weekend's and I have never known a couple more devoted to eachother. they have no desire or need to get married, as they both know it would ruin their relationship.
And yes, I would do the same if that's what was best to keep the passion and love alive.
