Romancing Friends with Rhaina Cohen

What Are Friends For

Friends are for ... being your life partner! Gabrielle and Pallavi are joined by Rhaina Cohen, a producer, and editor at NPR. They discuss her article published in The Atlantic, "What if Friendship, Not Marriage, Was at the Center of Life?" and the book she is working on about people who have a friend as their life partner. The three share examples of romantic friendships and the privileged status of romantic relationships in American culture and law. To help Rhaina with research for her book, go to her Instagram @rhainac and fill out the survey in her bio!
