Forget a bathroom or bedroom divorce — we ‘apart-ners’ believe living in separate homes saves our marriage
NY Post
Loran Wilson loves sleeping with her husband, Maurice, every evening — just not in the same bed, or under the same roof.
They’re apart-ners.
“We each live in our own apartments,” Loran, 38, from Atlanta, told The Post. “At night, we call one another on FaceTime, watch a show together, read the Bible and fall asleep on the phone.”
She and Maurice, happily hitched for five years, recently opted to reside 20 minutes apart as a “Living Apart Together” (LAT) couple. Rather than having round-the-clock access to one another, the duo spends quality time during the weekend.
For husbands and wives of 2025, retaining a sense of independence is all the rage. Some couples prefer soaping up in separate bathrooms, while others choose to snooze in separate bedrooms.
Loran and Maurice are among the growing number of LAT lovebirds who find that separate nests work best.
