Lise and Emil Stoessel saved their marriage by choosing to live apart rather than divorce.

Married for 28 years, now they enjoy dating! After a lovely evening of dinner and maybe a movie or cultural event, they'll share a goodnight kiss, as Emil drops Lise off at her townhouse before returning to his home, five miles away.

The Stoessels have successfully kept their marriage together by living apart for the past 6 years.

They explain some of the fascinating details about their unique arrangement in this video of their interview on the Ricki Lake Show.

Lise is author of Living Happily Ever After Separately, and has been interviewed twice for Opednews:
