The One About Weekend Marriages Happily Married (to other people)

    • Christianity

Apparently millennials are even more narcissistic than we ever thought: to wit, enter the weekend marriage, a supposed trend where couples exist separately during the week (sometimes in the same house, but preparing their own meals and coming and going as they please) and then live like a unit on the weekends. Is this mad drive to preserve independence a sign of healthy boundary setting--or is it a self-absorbed way of avoiding the sacrifice and compromise inherent to marriage? As you'd imagine, we have lots of thoughts. (Note: This week's catch-up intro is longer than most; the day's topic starts around the 26-minute mark. Sorry, Carol! Spoiler: Jenna cries. Again.)
