Friend zone just got serious in Japan's new marital trend. Say hello to friendship marriages! KOP explains the concerning trend making into America.
Modern relationships and marriages are complex, and adding to it more young people in Japan are now switching to a new kind of relationship called Friendship Marriage. While it isn't a traditional marriage it is also not a marriage of convenience where best friends get married to each other.
Most of the scientific literature exploring how people in Western societies find partners for long-term committed relationships tends to focus on dating that starts between two strangers. But an analysis of studies on ‘romance’ found that friends-first relationships are much more common than we’re led to believe. What’s more, the data suggest that most people would prefer to be in a romantic relationship that starts as a friendship.
