Do date for 3+ years and do a 30 day trial?.... -
nahlol, people stay tryna make marriage non-permanent.....
look if you ain't bout that forever life...then don't sign up -
yupayo....
you might be on to something mam. I've always told people that if i ever got married I would have to get a prenup regardless of our financial situation (though i wouldn't push it if she was caked up and i wasn't) not because i don't trust my s/o but because i'm a realist.. ? fall out of love everyday B.. and depending how the marriage ends, she may want to be spiteful. If it were to end on good terms, i'm not going to have my ex wife ? up in these streets anyway, so she'd be ok. But this license thing should definitely be an option for the realists who dont want to go through the ugliness that comes with divorces.
We might need to push for a bill or whatever.. make this a thing. GOAT thread. -

The romantic in me rebels at the idea as being preposterous. But realistically it does have some logic. So many marriages in this country end in divorce. Think of the manpower, time, money that could be saved if, instead of having to go through the whole messy and overly long divorce process, couples could simply let their license expire. No need to pay for an attorney. No need to waste the court's time fighting over visitation every other Easter and 4th of July. I could definitely see issuing a license that's valid for say.....7 years...and giving couples ample time to renew (by mail, let's not make it too difficult). Yup...seems pretty legit to me.

Everything has an expiration date

yupwouldn't be against it...the thought of being with 'one' woman for the rest of your life and you happen to marry in your 20s and you live to 86 shid..even your job gives you a way out to leave them (retirement)

yupI hate bureaucracies. I want an absurd amount of bureaucratic ? put into place to the point where people realize how much they suck and get rid of them completely. The marriage license should expire every six months and you would need to go to the DOM (Department of Marriage) to get it renewed. There would always be a huge line, and even though there was a lot of staff there getting paid with tax dollars only one person would actually be working. Before you could be helped by one of the DOM staff you would need to fill out a needlessly long marriage license form. It would look identical to the divorce license form so many people would fill out the wrong one, wait in line an hour, and then find out they need to do it all over again but with the proper form.

taking a break without a divorce already exists, it's called a legal separation
the "gist" of the conception/misconception is the underlined
people do not what the legal hassle of it all

yupFor me personally I wouldn't want an expiration on my license. It's do or die for me and mine.
But I wouldn't knock it for those who would want it.
I think a 5 and 7 license would do some good.
In between those years you should be able to apply for a suspension of the license if things aren't working out. The suspension fee would be half the cost of you payed for the marriage license.
When the 5 or 7 years are up you can renew for another 5 to 7 years.
If you wish to end the marriage you can do so at the end of your expiration date uncontested.
If it is contested then you can hire your divorce lawyers and go from there. -
The GREATER misconception is the marriage licence itself
All that really does is ensure you with certain benefits, responsibilities and obligations to that person as their legal spouse which will be recognized and acknowledged by institutions of a country,state,city etc.

let's not act like this will go smoother than a lifelong commitment to marriage...there will still be people who'd wana end it before the expiration date. & if you didn't stay together you would still need to split asset anyway so i don't see how this is that different.
thats the point of the license if one person wants to renew and the other doesn't then thats just it ,it won't be renewed,its just over.. Its a break up -
So you sayin you wanna "do you" while you married to me............
"You do you....and I'ma do me boo boo" - @kat

I can just see one spouse purposely not showing up at the probate office or "accidently" losing the renewal forms.
