"Steimer met and fell in love with fellow anarchist Senya Fleshin, a Russian-born Jew who had immigrated to the United States and returned after the Revolution. Although the two never married, they became devoted companions."
While true, this reads slightly strangely. Is it not the case that, as anarchists, they were "devoted companions" who refused to marry (not just never got round to it)?
