Catch the fish, don't touch the water! Similarly— getting married but not living together. This is the 'latest trend' now, guru— you have to understand.
Yes, this innovative tradition has already started in Japan.
There is also a novelty in the name. 'Separation Marriage'. That is, 'marriage' and 'separation' at the same time. Meeting on the weekend.
This is a 'separation marriage'. The marriage takes place, but after that the husband or wife do not live together. They live separate lives, like 'bachelor's', as before. The 'married' status returns on the weekend.
This means that on weekends, the two of you get together again, stay together, spend time together, and go on trips and excursions. When the 'weekend' is over, you can live your independent, single life again. It's like an 'update' of your marriage!
Just as technology has improved and 'updated' in shaping our lives, just as your beloved phone or laptop asks for 'updates' from time to time, promising to provide better services, so too does 'separation marriage'.
Happiness, peace, and love in marital relationships—above all, to keep that 'spark' alive, Japan's Gen-Z is now relying on this new-age medicine. Why else would it be? Think about it! Neither husband nor wife—stays like furniture in someone else's house for the entire week. Each lives in their own 'home, peace, and home' in their own mood and comfort. Only on weekends, they get together for two days. As per each other's convenience and preference.
So it's not like no one keeps track of each other's good and bad for the whole week. Everything goes on as before. That means the marriage is only legal. Apart from that, the life of the two continues in the same rhythm as before. Much like a pre-wedding love affair. When the entire canvas feels colorful! As far as the eye can see, there is no flaw or defect anywhere. Everything is dreamy, everything is beautiful. Therefore, 'weekly marriage' is now shaking Japan.
Experts are wondering what is the reason for this trend being so popular. There are several positive aspects to it. First, after marriage, the sense of responsibility between husband and wife towards each other increases. Along with this, financial responsibilities are added. Naturally, then, protecting one's own interests and prioritizing one's own preferences go to the back burner.
There is no such risk in 'separation marriage'. Whether it is fulfilling responsibilities or giving importance to each other's choices - all on that holiday. On the rest of the days, 'I am my king' as before. Secondly, when you are together, disagreements in words and arguments are inevitable, and quarrels, problems, and quarrels are inevitable. In this case too, this marriage is much safer. Because after marriage, the husband and wife stay apart for a long time. As a result, the period of peace is also long-lasting. For these reasons, in this era of globalization, the Japanese are happily choosing the alternative of 'weekly marriage'. And Bangladesh is a faraway country.
