(GLENN BECK) – During yesterday's radio broadcast, Glenn said "we have built a society that doesn't connect" even though we have more "digital connection" – and now this disconnection is affecting our marriages. Nearly 4 million married Americans live alone, according to U.S. Census data. Often called "living apart together" or "LAT," this movement is motivated by couples who want to preserve a similar sense of "self" and "independence" as when they were single while also experiencing the benefits of marriage – and it's growing in popularity.
LAT relationships have skyrocketed more than 25 percent between 2001-2019 and was expedited by the pandemic—and people swear by it. Goop founder and actress Gweneth Paltrowwho says, "All my married friends say that the way we live sounds ideal and we shouldn't change a thing," when describing her LAT relationship with husband Brad Falchuk. Is the situation as ideal as Paltrow makes it out to be? Mainstream liberal media certainly thinks so.

The New York Times published a piece featuring several women who chose LAT to avoid the potential responsibility of becoming a caregiver to their partner as they progress in age. The article quoted Ingrid Arnet Connidis, an emerita sociology professor at Western University in London, Ontario, who said, “A big attraction of LAT is to avoid the potential responsibility of being a full-time caregiver. Women cared for their children, parents and spouse, and want to avoid getting into these traditional gender roles.”
