When it comes to saving a marriage, couples today are up for any kind of experiment and therapy. But now millennials are taking a step further and are seeing their partners only over the weekends.
The concept of weekend marriage is rising and people are looking at it as a way of not only saving their marriage but also spicing things up for them. Not to our surprise, this trend is getting viral in Japan and various couples are starting to open up their minds about this fairly new concept.
Before getting into the nitty-gritty of the pros of weekend marriage, let us first understand what weekend marriage is. Shreya Kaulm is a counselling psychologist from Delhi. She explains that weekend marriage is an agreement that a couple draws in regard to how they want to execute their marriage.
Marriage is synonymous with living together, but not everyone can.
There are various reasons why couples nowadays are openly accepting this:
However, there are some couples who just want to experiment and that's why they opt for weekend marriage.
According to Shreya, the concept of weekend marriage can't be entirely good or bad.
She also adds that in such a setting, maintaining a boundary as to how to manoeuvre your relationship is actually difficult.
As the experts say, there are various reasons why this concept might actually work:
The whole concept of marriage isn't really intriguing for GenZ anyway. But weekend marriages can be a thing since it is unconventional. Shreya explains that since the Gen Z is moving towards a very individualistic nature of functioning (that isn't to say that it's denouncing family and people around them but there is more focus towards self) and realising that they do not want to give up as much of themselves for their significant other, this concept might work for someof them/
If we look at the experts' opinions and the current scenario in India, the concept of weekend marriage is fairly new, and it would be a long shot to say that it will be a trend in India.
