They didn’t decide that all the other bits of their relationship were pointless if monogamy wasn’t cutting it.

When troubles arose and sex drives died down, they didn’t just chuck the relationship away. These are couples challenging any idea of throwaway culture. I’ve never met people who speak so honestly about love and its challenges. They talk about each other with the highest level of respect and admiration, but chat about the challenges of their relationship and their sex lives with a candour that shocks me.

There are no chaste kisses or snarky comments to cover up genuine emotion. It might be my repressed British upbringing, but I’m entirely unused to seeing such open displays of longterm love.
