Pre-Marital "Spouse Experience" Spreads Rapidly

Daily Life Over Dating... A Shifting Marriage Landscape

Amid falling marriage rates and rising divorce rates,
the "Spouse Experience"—testing out married life prior to the actual wedding—
is establishing itself as a new social norm.

This trend is driven by growing demand to experience everyday habits and routines that dating alone can never reveal.

As the related market undergoes explosive growth,
the industry's largest spouse experience agency,
Sodam, is drawing intense public attention.

[ 📋 Pre-Contract Checklist ]

　
1. Nature of the Contract
All relationships are strictly contractual, not romantic. The provider fulfills the role of a spouse tailored to your application criteria throughout the contract term.

2. Scope of Roles
Roles are defined by the contract and application details. Any personal boundaries or interactions depend on mutual consent and the nature of the arrangement.

3. Non-Contractual Interactions
Private contact, financial transactions, and unsanctioned personal meetups are strictly prohibited to safeguard providers. This policy remains in effect even after the contract concludes.

4. Contract Duration and Termination
Extensions are strictly prohibited. In the event of early termination, both parties are subject to a penalty fee equal to 200% of the contract payment.

5. Miscellaneous
Unspecified matters are governed by Sodam's terms of service and internal discretion. While inquiries and objections are permitted, Sodam retains the final authority in determining contract violations.
