Independence In Relationships

  There’s a new phenomenon in relationships: LAT. It stands for Living Apart Together. And it refers to couples who choose to live separately. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates 1.7 million married couples in the US have made that choice. Separate apartments in the same building, different houses in the same city -- couples are finding new ways to maintain independence while being a duo. Ross Reynolds talks to Dr. Julie Gottman, the co-founder and Clinical Director of The Gottman Institutewhere she helps couples strengthen their relationships, about how important that independence is to relationships.
