Generally, we know that when two people get married, they live together. Girls leave their homes, start living at their husbands’ houses, or move together. However, there is a different type of culture in Japan, which is becoming very popular. Here, people get married but do not compromise with their privacy.
It may seem strange to you, but this culture called ‘Separation Marriages’ is becoming very popular in Japan. Similar is the story of Japanese couple Hiromi and Hidekazu, who married each other years ago. They also have a child together, but even today, the husband and wife do not live together in the same house. Their homes are only an hour away, but they never want to live together.
Marriage Does Not Mean Living Together
The concept of separation marriage is different. Here, even after marriage, husband and wife live in their world. They take each other’s love and support but do not make any sacrifice for it. They have their lifestyle and do not need to worry about their partner. This concept gives them a mixed experience of being single and married. This relationship should be based on love and respect so the couple can easily maintain it.
According to a BBC report, the couple’s lifestyle differs from that of the other, but they love each other. In such a situation, they start living in separate houses without disturbing each other’s life.
A Life Of Peace Living Separately
The story of one such couple named Hiromi and Hidekazu has been told on BBC; they used to be together only on weekends, while they stayed in their respective homes for the rest of the days. They also had a child together, who lives with his mother. The couple says that they feel right. The husband says that he cannot give time due to work pressure, while the wife says that she cannot do many things in the presence of her husband, which she enjoys alone. Many people feel separated, but this lifestyle is good for them.
