i think its a great idea, my ex said to me once ' I have you know, so i don't have to try anymore', maybe this would make people think before we take each other for granted.

it would probably work out well for the government there would probably be huge costs associated with staying in or getting out
with some gov entity scarfing up the profits

What makes men think that way? Do they think they have the only one? A friend told me this one time, and I think it should be this way for all couples, both parties. She told her husband, what he did to get her was what he had to do to keep her.
Being taken for granted in no way to live life.

marriage is so much more than a contract...it's a death sentence! Let's make it a contract. I am talking about M/F marriage*

I don't believe that marriage should be a contact. Why bother to work on it if there is an easy way out.

If what we need is a contract , why marry at all. I see marriage as Pious and believe in its sanctity more cos of the emotions of the people involved than the rituals perse.
Contracts are legal bindings. I dont find their need unless people go for it for insecurity reasons.
Marriage is a pious ceremony which involves 2 people and their near and dear ones wherein they vow to be together for life.I feel thats the way it should be and a contract cant equate it.

TO ME MARRIAGE LIFE IS AN DIVINE THING. IT'S NOT A CONTRACT OR NO I LIKE TO LIMIT IT ONLY FOR A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE.
IT'S A SECOND BIRTH TO A PERSON. ONE CAN HAVE A ANOTHER TYPE OF LOVE EXCEPT THE LOVE THAT HE HAS BEEN GAINING SO FAR FROM HIS PARENTS AND RELATIONS.
IT'S A DIVINE CONTRACT OF TWO SOULS .....THE WORD 'DEVORCE' SHOULD NOT BE IN THEIR DICTIONARY OR VOCABULARY UNTIL THEIR DEATH.

At least should have a trial period when starting out, giving one time to 'opt out' before signing up for the long haul.
Some people believe marriage is an easy track until they actually get there, then after all the legalities they find themselves 'deadlocked' for 2 years when everyone involved knows it's over.
(for those not in NZ, divorce takes a minimum 2 years here)

I like a commitment for a year and a day with an option to renew after a fair review of the year.
Does two things in my experience, avoids those arguments which go back years because each year is a completed unit and partings tend to be more amicable.
Of course the renewal clause cannot be used as a threat by either party, that is grounds for instant termination.

On the one hand I think it would be good to sit down and re-negotiate the contract every decade. It would give you a chance to open discussions as to what your expectations and what your grievances are.
Often when we are married for a while we assume we know what the other is thinking or feeling and don't bother having these types of discussions. If we did we might find we know a lot less about our partners than we thought.
Divorce actually comes from a lack of communication. So this re-negotiation could actually strengthen a marriage rather than dissolve it.

IF I remember right, I believe this option is being discussed in Germany...a 7 year marriage contract.
I personally don't look at marriage as something that should be so easy to walk away from, even after being married and divorced. I just think it would tempt people to not fight as hard to keep their relationship going if it were easy to walk away from in a certain number of years....might as well just date and take the vows. IMO

Yes exactly why I would add:
On the other hand it may become to easy to annul a marriage if the "contract" were to come due during troubled times.
Anyone who has been married for more than a few years knows that marriage is like a roller coaster. There are ups and downs and you simply have to hold on.

If the marriage is with you, it should be forever. My god you're lovely! omigod..did I say that outloud?!
ok seriously... I think so much of the most important things in life are slipping away, one of them being commitment. Not just to another person but to our goals and our word and our self respect and our, our integrity, our sense of fair play, our compassion for others and on and on. Any relationship requires work and hot dang it is worth it. Maybe I am just cynical but who is going to even try anymore if they know they are out in 14 months and that new human resources gal is looking hotter than ever today. Sheesh...
