What is a weekend marriage?
Weekend marriage is also known as separation marriage. It is clear from its name that in this type of marriage, the couple meets each other only on weekends. For the rest of the week, couples are busy with their work and do not interfere much in each other's lives.
In this type of marriage, the couple stays in the same house and sleeps in different rooms. Some couples even live in different houses. Apart from this, couples who do weekend marriages live in different cities or other societies and do not meet for a week or two.
Why do weekend marriages?
For countries like India, this type of marriage is a strange concept, because here marriage is an unbreakable relationship. After marriage people form a family and husband and wife are dependent on each other. However, the reason for the introduction of weekend marriage in Japan is the busyness of the people. Japanese people are very focused on their careers and lifestyle. This is one way the people of Japan found out to keep away emotional needs for their career or lifestyle.
Benefits of weekend marriage
Weekend marriage is being liked in many countries other than Japan. This type of marriage can have many advantages
First- Couples can live their life openly as before even after marriage. People have freedom even after marriage because they meet their partner only on weekends a week.
Second - Weekend married couples can handle both their career and relationship well. They have time for their career and job and there is no dullness in the relationship if they meet their spouse a few days a week.
Third- Often when couples start living with each other, small things start becoming issues and become the cause of discord. Couples dedicate every moment to their partner when they meet on the weekend and want to live that time with love.
Disadvantages of weekend marriage
For this type of marriage, both husband and wife must be financially independent. If one partner stays at home to take care of the family, he/she expects the same from his/her partner.
Weekend marriage is fine only till the couple, but there is a problem in raising the child. The child does not get the time of the mother and the father and it can be difficult for one of the partners to raise the child.
In marriage, husband and wife depend on each other. Husbands expect that after marriage, the wife will get support in household work, but in weekend marriage, husband and wife meet only once a week. In such a situation, they have to do their work by themselves. That's why some people believe that if you want to live like a single then what is the need for marriage.
