Renewable Marriage Contracts?

Hey all:

A while ago, I saw Articles online and elsewhere talking about considering the possibility of 'Renewable Marriage Contracts'

You know say...every seven years (or maybe you can pick when ya want your term to be up) a couple can choose to dissolve their marriage sans going through expensive divorces, etc...

I do NOT yet know what to think of that, but it's so......different....

Thoughts?

Opinions?
 
Something that says Hey baby, I love you, and I want to spend the next five to seven years with you.

Very romantic. I'm totally into it.
 
One of the cults of which I am a proud member issues "short-duration" marriage licenses so you can just get married for a few minutes or so if you want.

SHOR-DUR-MAR!!!

I like the placard on a boat:

"Marriages performed by the captain of this vessel are good for the duration of the voyage only."
 
I've always said marriage is rightly labelled an institution... because you'd have to be crazy to get into one!
 
My girl and I have been together since '92 and are still tight. We have vowed to never get married. Personally, I see marriage as a form of human ownership. I love freedom.

on my second marriage now, first one lasted 10 years (10 looonnnggg years) this hubby and I have been together total of 25 years, 21 of which we have been married.
just had out 21st anniversary last Wednesday.
There is something to be said for trusting someone enough to know they will stick around, and them trusting you the same.
don't think you would get that in a short-term lease...
people who marry should be able to trust each other to be part of their life, an encouragement to them and a support of each other. if you don't trust each other to stick around, what is the point of bothering to be married at all?
freedom comes in many forms, hubby and I are free to be ourselves, without the constant worry of whether or not we are worth someone else's love, time and affection. I don't have to be perfect, and I am sooo not perfect, and he doesn't have to be perfect, either. We are a couple. He's my guy, I'm his gal.
between the two of us, he is the nicer, less judgemental, and more easygoing. and I am nicer because of him.
so, if there is a short-term contract coming down the pipe, well, don't call it marriage, maybe call it a lease...
my two-bits.;)
 
Like all other licenses, marriage license should have an expiration date !

of course I've had my three strikes....... I'm out
