Before deciding to divorce, some couples ponder living separately. With the recent revelations by Jada Pinkett Smith about her in-home separation from Will Smith, we're discussing the pros and cons of living apart while married, including my own experiences and insights about when Shaun and I "separated" within our marriage.

Jada Pinkett Smith's new book, Worthy, reveals that Jada and Will Smith have been separated for seven years, although not divorced. There are many questions people have about the concept of in-home separation in marriages, and this episode helps to address some of those.
