Do you think it is a good idea to allow renewable marriage nuptials?

I don’t see a qualitative distinction between allowing people to get divorces and requiring them to take action to renew their legal marriage.

What happens if you say “no”?

Is the marriage annulled?
Is the divorce free of charge?

It just sounds like an easy way out to me.

I still think the government should get out of the marriage business. Let them honor civil unions, or private contracts.

@cprevite the marriage is simply not legal anymore.. you don’t need to pay for a divorce, however you may still encounter a mess when dealing with money with your ex-spouse

According to what you just mentioned, I smell trouble. I don’t like the idea. It makes marriage, like you said, more business than a union between two people.

“Till death do us part”...? “In sickness and in health”...? “As long as we both shall live”...?

What about a Learners Permit?

sounds good, like a try before you buy?

Well, it’d sure as hell make divorce easier. I don’t think that’s really a bad thing…divorce is expensive, and awful…this might make it easier on people who don’t want to be married anymore. It’s not my place to step in and tell people that it should be a PITA to get a divorce, or that they need to jump through hoops before they get one.

When I got married, I didn’t want a prenuptual agreement, because I felt that would show I am not committed. Marriage is a serious decision, and if you’re not sure, you shouldn’t do it.
