Farewell Sphen, One Half of Iconic Gay Penguin Couple and Secret Languages in Relationships

from The Optimist Daily's Weekly Roundup

This week's lovey-dovey news: Both Karissa and Arielle are feeling the love this week! Karissa shares the love story of Magic and Sphen, the same-sex Gentoo penguin couple from Sydney's Sea Life Aquarium, who became symbols of equality and love. Unfortunately, Sphen passed away recently, and the entire penguin community at Sea Life sang in chorus to grieve the loss of their colony member. Then, Arielle brings up the quirky "secret languages" between couples. This sometimes cringeworthy private habit actually makes us closer and strengthens the relationship. She explains why.
