Is the sentence correct?
The extent to which the time they get together is free to focus on the relationship is limited.
In the sentence above, I think "is" shall be removed to make it correct.
I read the sentence in an article. But a little strange to me.

It is a rather awkward sentence. The overall structure is: "The extent to which X is Y is limited", meaning that "X is Y" is true only to a limited extent. It reads as if "time" is "free to focus", which presumably isn't what is really meant.
