I support this much needed reform!
Because this is exactly what this is: leasing a spouse like a car. Everything else is just a related expense, like gas, insurance, maintenance and repairs.
Attacks on civilization like this are nothing new
Law students.
pfft!
This model also raises problems after disability or dementia. An old person with dementia cannot consent to renew a marriage, so what happens to the spouse whose marriage has just expired and whose partner is no longer legally responsible or allowed to be their guardian?
Why do people in college think they are the smartest people who ever lived in the last 6,000 years?
“Cut it off after four years”
That would certainly keep the man from cheating on his wife.
What’s wrong with “till death do we part”?
It worked for both my grandparents, and both parents and inlaws, seem to be doing gone after 60+ years.
The primary purpose of real marriage is to create a stable family in which to raise children. Gay “marriage” and this sort of temporary “marriage” are temporary and superficial contracts for sex or for legal benefits, no different morally from the very short term commercial contracts reached on a street corner in the red light district.
“CUT IT OFF after four years”, Elena Bobbit gives an enthusiastic ‘thumbs up’!
seems like women really believe it’s awesome for them.
i believe they will find it’s a lot worse for them.
sci-fi has had this in several different stories. stephen king’s the running man novella discussed that this was a common thing, with a lifelong contract being very rare.
On a cost VS use basis It would have been cheaper for me to hire professional services instead of giving half my net worth to one woman.
Cooking, cleaning and sex to my desires with no B.S. that I’m hindering her growth or her needing to find herself (in someone else’s bed).
If you want an old fashioned girl to marry you need a fracking time machine.
I’m ready to ex-pat this country for Ireland and find a country girl with red hair and green eyes and hire her.
I’m not bitter there must be good women out there. The last one I met in church, and was not really a good one.
So she read the novelization of Star Trek II, and then shaved a year off. It’s not that radical an idea, if you accept that legal marriages are basically a contract making them more “normal” contracts that cover a limited time and are renewable makes some sense. But there’s so much other baggage that goes with marriage thinking there can be a “clean” break by letting the contract expire is very naive.
Yeah, we should make marriage easier, because it’s sooooo hard to work on a relationship. (Weep, weep). Why does it have to be so hard? It’s supposed to be easy if you are in love! (Sob, sob)
What a joke. It’s just getting good at four years.
What is “it”?
I want term limits for pols, now liberals want term limits for marriage.
Whee, so much for God and His Law!
You try to cut mine off after four years, we’re going to have a problem.
From the fertile minds of babes!
I guess it makes as much sense as “gay marriage”. Marriage was supposed to set up a stable foundation for raising children. Once you decide that children are not part of the equation, marriage is useless for society.
