One person leading the charge for redefining relationships is Canadian documentary filmmaker Sharon Hyman.
(Jennifer Adams, author, Sleeping Apart Not Falling Apart).
Want to keep a relationship together? Try living apart!
APART-NERS (noun): Committed partners living apart
Acclaimed POV filmmaker Sharon Hyman has been living happily ever apart from her beau David
for over two decades and coined the term apartners to describe this arrangement.
As it turns out, there is a revolution brewing in the love department and Ms. Hyman is riding the wave
of a major demographic shift as people search for new ways to keep love alive and passion growing.
The numbers are astonishing.
Up to 40% of North American couples sleep in separate bedrooms.
And almost 10% of North American adults are in committed relationships and living in completely
separate abodes!
Yet despite the large numbers of apartners, few people discuss the topic openly - making it one of the last great taboos in love and sex. But this groundbreaking documentary will change all that.
With so many relationships struggling, it’s clear the cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach
to intimacy isn’t working for everyone. So it’s time to think outside the box. Or house!
