on extramarital sex. Have they discovered the key to a successful
marriage, wonders Stuart Jeffries

Coupledom is a performance art," wrote the psychoanalyst Adam Phillips.
"But how does one learn what to do together? How to be, once again, two
bodies in public, consistently together, guardians of each others'
shame, looking the part? Where do the steps come from?" Phillips was
not writing about the unconventional marriage of Hollywood stars Will
Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith when he wrote these words in his book
Monogamy, but they are none the less prescient. For Will and Jada have
reportedly essayed some new steps to love's old tune: they have agreed
a pact that they hope will prevent their relationship from being
destroyed by their wandering libidos.
