I know it sounds ridiculous but why can't marriage be contractual and then you can renew the licence or whatever online. Most marriages I notice that breakdown(whatever the actual reason may be say for example cheating) because of boredom. People just get bored of another being. Life isn't as amazing as the honeymoon period was. So just to make it easier make it a contractual thing with minimum loss of finances involved(money is a big factor in every relationship).
I say this because I like the idea behind marriage. I kinda like the wife/husband tag than the boyfriend/girlfriend because it sounds so superficial. A person becomes more devoted at work, sex is great and people are productive. So keep marriage but just make some add ons. Can it work in society?

Your proposal doesn't quite make sense. If your marriage has a finite date, then you wouldn't have the security marriage brings so you are basically boyfriend & girlfriend but with a contract due for renewal. Why bother? Just don't get married and tell the other person you will stick around for as long as things are exciting.

Like I said I like the social aspects of marriage: Wedding...great get together for family, has been happening since society began and is considered a cornerstone of life in many cultures; ring: I like its sensuality and appeal(passion and faith in one another); everyday life as a committed couple trying to work it out, it becomes much more when you are officially married). There are good things about this institution but it needs certain revamp. Many men complain how unfair the laws and system are against them so....

So you want all the "fun bits" but none of the responsibility?
I don't understand how laws and the system is against men, could you clarify? The laws in my country pertaining to marriage, divorce etc are gender neutral.

Bbq can also be a great get together for the family. You can buy yourself a ring and wear it on any finger you like. You can be just as committed without getting married. Marriage doesn't need a revamp. Some people just need to opt out if they think they are happier without it.
FTR, married men are happier than single men whilst single women are happier than married women according to stats. Perhaps women should complain more?
If you've tied yourselves up financially, it'll still take some more undoing that just not renewing.
That is the major difference between getting married and not, so why bother?
