dosent the engagement period and divorce proceedings negate the need for a license renewal. Even if a couple decided not to renew they still have the division of assests/debts and all the other funs stuff that goes along with a dissolution. It wouldnt be as simple as just walking away.
If you marry the right person, the expiration date occurs when the husband or wife dies. People involved in a succession of train wreck "relationships" never seem to get this.

Thank you!
The idea of an expiration on a marriage license is absurd. If you need that "safety net" then you probably shouldn't be getting married in the first place.
When my husband and I recited our vows, we actually believed in them and uphold them.
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."
If you fear you will change as time moves on, why even get married? You can always live together and not have to take those vows.

One guy proposes a time limit for marriage as the cure for divorce. Yeah, good luck with that one.
If you're married and under the age of 45, there's a 50 percent chance your union won't last. But despite that fact, most people tie the knot with 'forever' in mind.
Sure, they might not realize the heft of 'forever', but usually, the intention is: till death do us part. Read The Rest Of The Article......
I don't care what anyone says: marriage is NOT natural and often takes away from really living life. There's a reason why cheating is rampant.
Also, while marriage is okay I suppose, the fact that people marry in their 20s is absurd. Most people in their 20s haven't even experienced life and are often still trying to truly figure out what they want out of life. I wouldn't recommend marrying in one's 20s to anyone other than women whose primary goal in life is to have children and be a mom.

I heard a piece on NPR once where a woman who'd been married twice said that she didn't have two failed marriages, she had two marriages that ran their course.

I think that's fair, especially if both involved aren't psycho/evil and part ways kindly. Remain friends even.

You seem fixated on insisting that all marriages are bad or end badly with all these threads you are creating or commenting on
Why are you ruminating on the subject, especially since you yourself claim you'll "never" get married?
