Living Apart Together (LAT) Couples and Shifting Relationship Narratives

In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss how the traditional narrative of long-term relationships, where couples date, move in together, and then get married, is shifting. They introduce the concept of Living Apart Together (LAT) couples, who intentionally choose not to live together despite being in committed relationships. This trend challenges the societal expectations of relationship progression. The hosts explore the limited data available on LAT couples and highlight the need to understand why people are choosing this lifestyle. They emphasize the importance of considering alternative relationship models and the desire to learn more about LAT couples' experiences.
