What happens when you put friendship at the center of your life?
NPR's Rhaina Cohen has been thinking about this question for years. It started when she met someone. This someone was not a lover, but a friend. As their relationship deepened, Cohen began to wonder why there wasn't a special term for a platonic relationship that felt romantic, or an understanding of partnerships that went beyond the status of "best friend."
In today's episode of The Sunday Story, host Ayesha Rascoe sits down with Rhaina Cohen to talk about her forthcoming book, TheOther Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center.
You can listen to the song, "Dear Friend," by Rings of Maple here.
