So more like a car lease. Interesting concept.

Hi, I'm turning in my 2015 model for a '17. This time I want sporty blue one with huge wheels and an engine that is always in the mood for action. And I want some extra miles on this lease, because I feel like doing some serious driving!

The thing is, when they roll up high miles and have had 2-3 previous owners, their value goes down and they sit on the market for longer.

But there will always be some people who want to buy and drive until the wheels fall off.

I'll bet they'd all start behaving.

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?
Many people wouldn't want to be stuck with someone for as long as a year.

Ha! Just today, somebody I know posted on Facebook, "The wife and I finally decided not to have kids. The kids are taking it pretty hard."

I personally think marriage licenses should be renewed every ten years. Would solve a lot of problems.

Kids are not wedding presents. You can't return them.

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 throw a party, If you like the celebratory aspect of weddings. Don't get married if you're a person who easily tires of things. Alternately, find a like- minded partner, and tell that partner that you're willing to marry, but that you'd like the option of formally revisiting whether or not you'd like to stay married annually. See if you get any takers.
