Dr. Sofis, 48, a radiologist, has four children and two dogs.Many couples who live apart The number of married people living apart, which includes military couples, is still small but rose 4.8% in the last decade to 3.6 million, according to figures from the Census Bureau.,” says Susan Brown, sociologist and co-director of the National Center for Family and Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University, in Ohio. “We get married for our own personal happiness and fulfillment, and people define that in various ways.
