Marriages should be for 4 years terms and both parties must agree to renew it. It would end a lot of the nonsense going on.

Much like insurance, you don't want the other side to reneg when you hit your low.

There's a reason why there is an emphasis on "for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health."

Marriage always takes work.

As for ending marriages, you don't have to wait for the next "selection cycle." If it's that bad, you always have the option to end it.

Not sure why this 4 yr thing matters besides giving you the ability to have the convo without needing the courage to bring it up.

Would hate to be in such a transactional marriage, tbh.

You do know actual marriage is a legal contract you have to sign right? I’m actually more than OK with not doing that and that I plan to do personally. Let’s just get married in a church, have a huge wedding, and not involve the government or sign anything so it’s not ever transactional

Premarital counseling should be a requirement to getting a marriage certificate.

SSA1, totally agree! We just went through the motions of our premarital counseling because it was required at the church we wanted to get married at. I definitely held back and never brought up a few issues that bothered me and now sort of regret that I didn’t take it more seriously then. It’s hard to dig deep into the problems of your relationship at that point.

Or just don't get married...... The point of marriage (ideally) is a life long commitment. If that's not for you, then don't get married. Many people have healthy long term relationships and never get married.

Have you seen confessionals, the point of marriage is just to be with someone until they either annoy you, you’ve found something better, or you “fell out of love with them” and everyone seems to be ok with that. So that has lost the point of marriage and now it’s just a government contract

Lol this is silly u can get divorced whenever my dude and this would solve nothing.

Everyday people have to choose to remain married, and everyday people choose to lie to their spouse about how they feel, choose to stay together for kids or community or out of fear. It’s silly to suggest this would change by having four year “renewal” discussions.

like

This appeals to the pragmatist in me. I’d make it annual like a utility subscription. I’ve been divorced before, and my current partner and I are not married but live our lives though we are in every way but shared finances/assets. Knowing I have the freedom to walk away makes me even more sure that I want to be with my partner.

My take on ending the nonsense: mandatory counseling before the engagement, premarital counseling before the wedding, and then post-marital counseling once a month the rest of your lives. Follow this plan and you might just make it.

LOL.

Right, because splitting assets and children will always be easy, and people never forget to renew things.

Nothing is stopping you to agree to that with your partner

Why get married then. What nonsense? As some has said marriage is work, lots of hard work
