What’s a Lavender Marriage, and why is it changing relationships ?

Bu bölüm hakkında

For generations, the idea of marrying your first love, living happily ever after, and having lots of kids was considered the ultimate dream. But for Gen Z and younger generations, that vision is shifting. New ways of "making a family" are emerging—like living long-term with friends, co-parenting without being romantically involved, and even entering into a lavender marriage. A lavender marriage is a union between two people for reasons other than love. Typically, it’s a partnership between a heterosexual person and a queer person that allows them to navigate the world within a heteronormative framework. By creating this unconventional family structure, they can enjoy some of the social and economic benefits of traditional marriage without the romantic entanglements.
