You may use the following function to retrives week's between two dates:

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fGetWeeksList]
(
    @StartDate DATETIME 
   ,@EndDate DATETIME 
)
RETURNS 
TABLE 
AS
RETURN
(

SELECT DATEADD(DAY,-(DATEPART(DW,DATEADD(WEEK, x.number, @StartDate))-2),DATEADD(WEEK, x.number, @StartDate)) as [StartDate]
      ,DATEADD(DAY,-(DATEPART(DW,DATEADD(WEEK, x.number + 1, @StartDate))-1) ,DATEADD(WEEK, x.number + 1, @StartDate)) AS [EndDate]
FROM master.dbo.spt_values x
WHERE x.type = 'P' AND x.number <= DATEDIFF(WEEK, @StartDate, DATEADD(WEEK,0,CAST(@EndDate AS DATE)))
