People are afraid of getting married, maybe because it’s too much responsibility involved in such a huge step. On the other hand, life is about freedom, and marriage is often perceived like an institution that fences people in. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I strongly believe that humans are made for a free life, and they are tempted to reject every little thing that is meant to make them prisoners.
But we shouldn’t consider marriage to be such an obstacle, even if recent statistics are quite alarming, as we’re told that approximately 47 percent of men and no more than 32 percent of women decide not to get married before their early 30s. And one of the main reasons for such thing to happen is that people are more and more focused on career, rather than on the family aspect.
The Marriage-Hunting Bra (also known as Konkatsu Bra) is a concept lingerie designed by the famous company Triumph International that is meant to help the women who are very skeptic about marriage to surpass their fears. The bra shows the time a woman has left until the day she thinks she’ll tie the knot on a very easy-to-read LED display.
There are a ring holder and pockets that can be used for a pen, for example, and official stamp seal. These will be very useful when the bride will have to fill out the marriage license application. Triumph puts its hopes very up when it comes to the results of the release of this new concept.
To be more precise, the creators of the Marriage-Concept Bra is aimed at encouraging people to get married, as it was inspired by a best-seller that creates sensation these days in Japan called Konkatsu-Jidai (translated as “The Times of Marriage-Hunting”), written by Toko Shirakawa. The book talks about a continuously diminished marriage rate in Japan and the obstacles people run into when they’re trying to find a partner for a lifetime.
