Why not? Today's marriages are short-term anyway in most cases.

This will probably be a good idea for some people. Personally I don't support it. It cheapens the idea of marriage - a short-term business contract basically. If they don't think they can last for longer than 2 years, then why bother getting married?
Marriage is a business contract. Thats why the courts divide assets when people get divorced.

Do you agree that this would be a good thing? Would headaches of divorce would be avoided? Would it help relationships?
Yes.
