They are always on the move, only see each other at weekends or live in different countries, some couples do not see each other often.

If many relationships suffer from distance and lack, these couples adapt to them or even cultivate them.

They would enjoy the time together more and live their love as on the first day.

But without going through daily life, shopping, cooking, arguing ... Isn't there a risk of creating a superficial relationship?

How to organize your life as a couple when you don't have time to see each other?

Do we have to see each other less to love each other better?

We will listen to the 

testimony of a couple from Douala in Cameroon

at the microphone of 

Raphaëlle Constant. 

They met when they were students, 10 years ago.

Marie, 34, is an entrepreneur.

Joseph, 35, is a bank executive.

Today, they have busy professional lives, intense work schedules, they cross paths before leaving for work in the morning and their 4 children are looked after by a nanny.

It is only on the weekends that they can finally meet again and they are happy like that. 

Marie and Joseph have been in a relationship for 10 years and have busy professional lives.

And at the end of the program, find the

portrait of Bachir Samb by Inès Edel Garcia.

 This young 24-year-old actor was born in Las Palmas in the Canaries, to Senegalese parents.

All his childhood, Bachir spent it with a Spanish foster family, but at the age of 8, his parents divorced and sent him alone to Senegal to live with his grandmother.

Fourteen years have passed and now Bachir is back in Spain to pursue a career in cinema and try to change mentalities.

This unusual migration from Europe to Africa, he recounts today in his autobiographical book “Una carta a Adelina”.

Our reporter Inès Edel-Garcia met him in the streets of Lavapiés, the most multicultural neighborhood in Madrid.
