NO.<\/p>\n<p>This seemingly unusual relationship can stir up quite a few questions. How exactly do platonic lovers operate? Is there zero romantic attachment in the marriage? Can two platonic partners truly enjoy the benefits of marriage?\u00a0Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re here to answer these and myriad other questions you may have about platonic couples, in consultation with psychologist <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nandita-rambhia\/\">Nandita Rambhia<\/a> (MSc, Psychology), who specializes in CBT, REBT, and couples counseling.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Platonic_Marriage_Meaning\"\/>Platonic Marriage Meaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/acounbkg\/?bookid=Nandita%20Rambhia\">Nandita<\/a> explains, \u201cA marriage can be platonic if both decide beforehand that they won\u2019t have a sexual relationship after marrying each other. There can be many practical reasons behind wanting to have such a platonic relationship.\u201d She states numerous reasons why people opt for a platonic marriage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One\/both don\u2019t have the sexual desire to continue intimacy anymore<\/li>\n<li>The married couple doesn\u2019t live in the same city\/country<\/li>\n<li>Owing to a medical condition\/old age, they cannot indulge in sex<\/li>\n<li>Getting citizenship in the country where one partner is staying<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s not a romantic marriage and happened under family pressure<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s more of a legal union for legal benefits like tax breaks<\/li>\n<li>Owing to sexual orientation (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/8-myths-about-asexuals-ase\/\">asexual partners<\/a>\/pansexual partners)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Make Sure You Ask These 5 Things Before Getting Married!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MSPc3VCW94M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Make Sure You Ask These 5 Things Before Getting Married!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MSPc3VCW94M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">For more expert-backed insights, please subscribe to our YouTube channel. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Bonobology\">Click here<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Psychotherapist Mary Jo Rapini explains, \u201cWhen you marry outside the traditional type of marriage, you decide that this marriage is on a best-friend basis sans intimacy, sex, and romance. Platonic unions have been around since the 15th century and roughly 2-3% of the whole population is engaged with them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA platonic marriage is a little different from a sexless marriage. In the latter, usually one of the partners is adamantly against sex. But, a platonic marriage is all about two people marrying for the deepness to connect and form a committed friendship\/spiritual connection. They aren\u2019t marrying for physical love\/intimacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default\">\n<p><strong>Related Reading:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/commitment-in-marriage\/\">7 Fundamentals Of Commitment In A Marriage<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_And_Drawbacks_Of_A_Platonic_Marriage\"\/>Benefits And Drawbacks Of A Platonic Marriage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>While researching this topic, I came across an interesting comment on YouTube. @simplyaloha4469 wrote, \u201cMy uncle who is gay, married his best friend who is a woman.

Also, it\u2019s not as if you have to swear off sex (if you don\u2019t want to); it\u2019s just that sex is not part of your marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sounds simple enough, right? But when you don\u2019t have an existing framework on which you can model your relationship with your life partner, things can get complicated even if you\u2019re sure you\u2019ve found your <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/platonic-soulmate-signs\/\">platonic soulmate<\/a>. What are the rules of your union going to be? What are the boundaries? What are your rights as spouses? What about any romantic or sexual needs that may arise in the future?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The simple answer to these questions would be, you make the rules that work for you and your partner. However, that, more often than not, can make things harder rather than simplify them. So, how can you make such a platonic relationship smooth sailing? Here are some expert-backed tips.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Be_honest_about_your_reasons\"\/>1. Be honest about your reasons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p>The most important tip is to be straightforward and direct with your partner about why you\u2019re opting for such a marriage. If you\u2019re hiding out from sexual dysfunction, have a different sexual orientation, or have been abused in the past, just be honest. Own it and see if your partner understands your reasoning.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default\">\n<p><strong>Related Reading: <\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/demisexuality-signs\/\">Could You Be Demisexual? 5 Signs That Say So<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Establish_ground_rules\"\/>2.

Nandita advises, \u201cIt\u2019s important that platonic spouses establish ground rules on the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the exact agreement?<\/li>\n<li>What are the benefits of platonic love?<\/li>\n<li>What can be done and what should not be done?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_A_written_agreement_helps\"\/>3. A written agreement helps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p>Nandita points out, \u201cPartners bound by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/platonic-relationships\/\">platonic love<\/a> need to talk and talk and talk a little more about this so both are clear they have the same vision and neither feels cheated or jealous suddenly. In a platonic marriage, a written agreement helps, especially if one is not fulfilling the practical purposes or trying to get into a space that both had agreed to not get into. It is important to converse a lot and have clear-cut conversations.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since your relationship may feel like unchartered territory, a relationship agreement can help give it a sense of direction \u2013 or the broad framework within which you can carve out your dynamic. Of course, it\u2019s best to revisit and upgrade or change the rules of the agreement as your needs and circumstances change.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3tnwpFd\"><picture><source data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2023\/03\/On-Married-Couples-300x160.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"400\" alt=\"more on married couples\" class=\"wp-image-471124 webpexpress-processed\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/On-Married-Couples.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/On-Married-Couples-300x160.jpg 300w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/On-Married-Couples.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/On-Married-Couples.jpg\" alt=\"more on married couples\" class=\"wp-image-471124 webpexpress-processed\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/On-Married-Couples.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/On-Married-Couples-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/a><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Be_discreet_about_your_sexual_needs_if_necessary\"\/>4. Be discreet about your sexual needs if necessary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p>Nandita explains, \u201cIn my clients, I have seen married couples agreeing to seeing other people, owing to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/marriage-and-sexual-compatibility\/\">sexual incompatibility<\/a>. I have seen that it\u2019s a very delicate situation. Jealousy and other disagreements do creep in over time. It\u2019s very important to frequently keep connecting with your partner and checking if everything is okay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Keep these three pointers in mind to avoid conflicts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Respect each other<\/li>\n<li>Trust each other (once this gets betrayed, the foundation will crumble)<\/li>\n<li>Be discrete if the other partner requires it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Seek_professional_help_for_unexplored_areas\"\/>5. Seek professional help for unexplored areas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p>Seeking professional help becomes immensely important when you\u2019re transitioning from a conventional marriage to a platonic one. Nandita says, \u201cThe transition from having a sexual relationship to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/sexless-relationship-effects\/\">sexless marriage<\/a> can be tricky. This is why extremely good communication is important. Even if the life partners are communicating, complicated challenges may arise.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, a couple I was counseling decided to make their marriage platonic and agreed to have sex with other partners only and not with each other. But they ended up fighting. The husband got super angry with the wife. The reason behind his anger was that the wife had gotten her date home when her husband was away. But this was a point they did not discuss earlier in their ground rules. The husband felt that his place in the house had been violated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For such unexplored areas, Nandita suggests open communication and being sensitive to the other person\u2019s needs. She also recommends taking guidance from an experienced professional.

Understand that people can change<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p>Not everyone is open\/comfortable about their need for sex or how they think they\u2019ll deal with that loss of sex. So, you need a partner who can understand that people can change.\u00a0You may be a couple who doesn\u2019t want a romantic relationship in the beginning. But this may eventually change and you may fall madly in romantic love with your partner. This is why you both need to be open, honest, accommodating, and flexible.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-pointer\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Pointers\"\/>Key Pointers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A platonic marriage can seem like an unusual choice, but if you and your partner are doing it for the right reasons, it can work wonderfully<\/li>\n<li>It can be a wonderful feeling to wear a wedding gown or tux and celebrate a close friendship with your loved ones<\/li>\n<li>People also do it for economic advantages; for example, to split expenses or for tax benefits<\/li>\n<li>There have been instances where two friends have gotten married to raise children together<\/li>\n<li>Like any other relationship, such a marriage, too, comes with its share of benefits and drawbacks. You need to navigate the complexities of the relationship skillfully to sustain it for the long haul<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Finally, Nandita says, \u201cAs long as platonic life partners are toeing the line and not the boundaries that they have decided upon, a platonic marriage can turn out great! After all, the start has been great. Both have been open enough to adapt to an out-of-the-box approach to be in each other\u2019s lives. This means they are already open with each other and comfortable with each other\u2019s suggestions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Romance fades, anyway. But good friends are for life. Physical attraction may fizzle out over time. Hence, this interesting concept makes us rethink the future of romantic marriages and romantic relationships. After all, love has many forms and so let\u2019s not limit it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default\">\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/companionship-vs-relationship\/\">Companionship Vs Relationship \u2013 The 10 Basic Differences<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default\">\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/soul-ties-sexually\/\">Sexual Soul Ties: Meaning, Signs, And How To Break Away<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default\">\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/am-i-bisexual-quiz\/\">Am I Bisexual Quiz<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"rocketlazyloadscript\">\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\nif(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments);\nif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\nn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window, document,'script',\n'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '876575519558510');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonobology.com\/platonic-marriage\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] After 11 years of friendship, best friends Jay Guercio and Krystle Purificato decided to take platonic marriage vows together.
