I was thinking 5 w/auto-renew unless one party disagrees. If it's 2, you just get married every two years.  There also needs to be a standard set of next steps:

- have kids: here is the Federal income to support ratio
- alimony: to qualify, meet these Federal requirements
Etc.

I’m married because that’s what my husband wanted.  In fact,  what he’s wanted since he was four years old.  If and when he no longer wants to married to me, he is free to go without financial obligation.

It's not about what you do or I do. This whole board is only a tiny fraction of the population. At the population level, it's a numbers game. If there's a significant mismatch between the expectations and desires of males and females, you're going to see what we've been seeing in marriage trends.

When you alter one component of a complex system, you tend to get unforseen consequences rippling throughout. Fundamentally altering women's roles in society (for better or worse, I'm not arguing for a return to the old arrangement) has produced these downstream effects, and we're in the middle of the repercussions. It's like a market correction after a major change in the regulatory landscape.

First enlistment two years.

If reup then for three years term of service.

If children automatic stop loss until the child graduates from high school.

It could work.

No argument from me, you're preaching to the choir. The issue is that a lot of women seem to think they want the whole shebang and have been led to believe that they can have it all. Getting an advanced degree, developing a career, and then meeting the perfect guy mid-late 30's to start a family is walking the razor's edge in terms of timetables, though. Any real delays or setbacks in the plan and the realities of the biological clock come into play. For whatever anecdotes are worth, I've seen a couple of the women I dated in college in this exact situation.

If it's a contract, does that mean the exit clause is defined?  No more alimony just because the woman wanted to get back in the dating pool (or just screw the pool boy)?

Joint assets would get messy (buying a house, etc), but what your describing is probably just a glorified pre-nup.  It comes up some in Science Fiction; couples have contracts, not enduring marriages.  

I wouldn't do it, I got married because I wanted to spend my life with my wife, but for those who just want/have hollywood type marriages, why not?

I have often wondered how that would be.  Maybe a 10 year contract.  Might make folks try harder if they were going to loose one they loved if they were not  being on best behavior.

Also, it should be separated from spiritual and secular marriage.  All the church goers say it is till death/eternal.  Vows are taken and it is between God and them.  Secular deals with the earthly goods and commitments.  That is a contract.   Still have to deal with the joint property and funds acquired during the contract, but maybe it could be more of a 50/50 deal.  Then you have kids come into the mix.

I have been lucky for 40 years married.  Not all fun, but now the stage is solid.  No changes now.

Reminds me of an old Al Bundy quote: "Expired driver's license. Why can't a marriage license do that?"

Never married myself but I would support the idea of a five-year license that is subject to expiration if the parties agree AND there are no children. Children nullify the expiration and parties must go through normal divorce proceedings.

Agree though, in this day and age don't get married. The system is too broken these days.

No I'm just a bitch who's good for the occasional 3 minute hate on women.

Marriage contracts are a desperate attempt to wrangle with the realization that the most destructive force known to western civilization is the unbridled sexual freedom of women. Women destroy themselves, they destroy their family, they destroy their workplace, and they eventually will destroy society because of their degenerate need for instant gratificaiton.

You want to end messy divorces?

1. No more decade+ hormonal birth control before marriage
2. End the federal incentive for states to maximize alimony and child support payments

"Trying out" marriage is a plan for failure. Like moving in together before marriage. Statistically you're worse off, yet people convince themselves it's smart. Because of saving money on rent and stuff, so much more important than marrying the right person.

That's exactly how it was with two of my exwives. No mess divorces. But we had no children or assets at that early age in my life.

Now wife number 3 been married for 33 years next month. Marriage is something I learned needs to be continually worked on in order for it to grow.

To me you must keep doing those things and falling in love over and over. Never treat her as an object or property. Talk and treat her as you'd want to be treated. Above all else never stop telling her how much she means to you.

Life is good  

Wife 1&2 were bad and short lived. But still never had children.

I'm not planning on entering into any more marriages, so it makes no difference to me.

However, I think such a thing would probably cause more problems than it solved, especially after the lawyers and bureaucrats have a few years to fuck it up.
