Newly-Married Gwyneth Paltrow Doesn’t Live with Her Husband, But Experts Say That’s Not a Bad Thing

Most couples tend to live together under one roof after their marriage. Family homes serve as a sanctuary where we start creating beautiful memories as we build our family. However, it seems not every couple practice this arrangement.

The renowned actress Gwyneth Paltrow, for example, reveals she doesn’t live together with her husband all the time. She and her husband, Brad Falchuk, live apart and they only see each other four times a week.

Paltrow says this bizarre arrangement has become the secret to their long-lasting relationship but can ordinary couples implement it in their lives too? Let’s read and find out.

The Arrangement

As newlyweds Paltrow and Falchuk move into their new house, their fans expect to follow along on this new marital journey they have embarked on.

Moreover, they hope to hear wonderful stories of their honeymoon and things they discover about each other as the couple builds their family together. But Paltrow shocked the world when she announced that she and her husband weren’t planning to live together all the time. Um, what?

Paltrow and Falchuk tied the knot last September 2018.

Before you jump to any conclusions, just hear Paltrow out. The actress says they only live together three days a week while spending the rest of the time apart — and surprisingly, it works for their relationship!

Her husband spends most of the nights at his own place and travels to Paltrow’s home in Los Angeles for the remaining days of the week.

Contrary to everyone’s assumption about their unconventional living arrangement, Paltrow says that spending time apart keeps the spark alive in their marriage. Moreover, both parties are satisfied with the arrangement because it suits their busy schedules.

The Advice

According to a relationship expert, Paltrow and Falchuk’s arrangement is an effective method to keep their relationship fresh in the long run. The experts claim that since they do not see each other 24-7, the distance keeps the two longing for each other’s company.

Aside from that, the experts add Paltrow and Falchuk had dozens of stories to tell as they catch up with each other. These activities not only strengthens their relationship, but it also makes Paltrow and Falchuk closer than ever.

The Consideration

Paltrow also adds one major factor of their arrangement is the kids. The couple decided to keep their homes separate in order to spend some quality time with their children.

Falchuk gets to bond and spends some quality time with his kids from his previous relationships. Meanwhile, Paltrow takes this time apart to attend to her kids’ needs, especially since they’re now teenagers.

The actress reveals it’s difficult for her to supervise them now that they’re transitioning into adulthood and have become a lot more rebellious. She now has to deal with their teenage tantrums and guide them through this transition to the best of her ability.

While Paltrow says their living arrangement works for them, she realizes it may not work for other couples. The actress recommends you need to discuss things with your partner as you agree for your living arrangement.

If both of you are okay with separate homes, then go for it. If not, Paltrow says it’s better for you and your partner to live together under one roof.
