TRENDS 2016
RELATIONSHIP
What will be in vogue this
year? Be ahead of the times as seen below about the future
RELATIONSHIP
GHOSTING AND ICING THE
BREAK-UP
Social media will speed
break-ups, it will become more of a relationship destroyer than enabler.
According to Esther Perel, relationship expert, terms like ghosting
(disappearing) and icing (manufacturing an excuse to suspend the relationship)
will make it easier to escape relationship accountability. Love communication
will be more detached, as no one will want to appear too interested, too
attached, or too involved.
MARRIAGE BOOTCAMPS
Men are at a loss as to how
to handle women. Indian men are taking a cue from Chinese men, who are
attending workshops like `Understanding Women' to avoid being left out. As
women have redefined their socio-economic roles in developing countries, men
have started to feel inadequate.This year, we'll see men sign up for boot
camp-style workshops to understand women and learn how to form successful
relationships.
THREE DAY RULE & MIND
GAMES
Love rules will be more
complex as people will use psychological strategies to either win a date, get
attention or stay in control in a relationship.There's even a three-day rule
people follow wherein one waits at least three days before calling their
partner up after a date. It's a strategy to make sure one is not seen as too
clingy. The modern dating scene has also started rejecting labels like
`boyfriend' or `girlfriend'.People prefer keeping their relation ship status as
`non-committal'.
DIGITAL DETOX FOR COUPLES
New York-based therapist
Ian Kerner feels if you want to have a healthy relationship with your spouse,
unfriend them on facebook. In fact, if you want to have a happy relationship,
both couples should delete their Facebook ac counts to free up time for each
other.If couples insist on being connected, keep the comments gentle; avoid
expressing negative emotions.
HOLIDATING
Psycholody Today says there
is a rise in irrelationship-laced `holidating'. Don't get confused. It simply
means, that to save yourself from disappointments arising out of expectations,
people date seriously, but avoid true intimacy. This dating trend will be big
in 2016 for singles, who want to have fun without serious committement.
