The Two-Year Marriage Worth a Try?
What a great idea!
Couples unwilling to commit "till death do they part" will be able to sign short-term marriage contracts under a proposal being considered by Mexico City lawmakers. Couples will be able to choose the term of their marriage, with a minimum length of two years, and renew the contract if they stay happy, according to a reform put forward by the liberal Democratic Revolution Party.

Marriage is supposed to last beyond death. Not be for 2 years.
If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

Since it is a state level contractual agreement anyway, it should be treated as such, with options to renew. People who choose religious options should be required to follow the guideline set out by their choice.Originally Posted by avatar4321

And why should it be a state governed contract? Simply because the state recognizes the contracts doesn't mean it should govern them.

My wife's has talked about wanting to renew our vows. Doubt she ever considered I might say, "Nah, lets split" Gonna ask her if that's an option the next time she suggests it.

That's kinda depressing...
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
Socialism = Poverty
Marriage is an institution that will work only if the people in it want it to. People now a days are too selfish and too immature to make an institution like marriage, which requires that its participants act like adults, work. Two year marriage, one week marriage, marriage on the lay away plan, marriage between two guys or two women... it does not matter. The fault is in ourselves not in the institution...

I think it's supposed to last only until death. In death, no one is given in marriage, check the Bible... I think that's what it says.

Plant Parenthood.
I believe, if my memory serves, that it's the Mormons that think it goes beyond death.
As for the temp marriage, I don't really get the point, as far as I see it being engaged to someone is basically a temp marriage to see how things go...but whatever ticks people's clock, if someone wants a temp marriage it's not gonna affect my life.
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

Only some folks believe that KM; others believe in Eternal Marriage.

while others think it goes as long as it remains convenient...I think that's the point of the OP.

Well, they've been trying to call a union between two men a "marriage", when it isn't.
They may as well call a two-year get-together a "marriage", when that isn't either.
Once you throw out the rules, there are no rules.
"The social contract exists so that everyone doesn’t have to squat in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all day every day. It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com

And who set the "rules"? Is it not society/culture?
Plant Parenthood.
It gets worse!
They even allow people who have been married to get divorced and marry again, when that isn't either!
Maddness I tell you.
