Are you in favor of renewable marriage contracts?

hello eileen, Funny my friend..you really made me laugh I couldn't just imagine if this will ever happen. I think there will be problem on the registrar office everyday. The long queue of people not to renew their marriage contract but...to file for another/new marriage application ...hahahaha! And,what will happen to those expired marriage contracts then? Do we need to surrender our old contract before applying for new contracts? ...................GREAT.............

hello eileen, for me its plain crazy & kinda ridiculous... oh well this is just my opinion. marriage is something sacred and should not be taken this way, i believe that marriage is an institution that God created and so it must be respected & valued... and i just can't see the point on this renewable marriage contracts although i already heard the news about it...

hi eileenleyva I really think its horrid,it makes a mockery out of the lovely words in the wedding ceremony. My husband and I made a pact between us to live out the words in our wedding ceremony and we did. You have to love unconditionally both of you in order to make a marriage work, you must take each other the way you really are not how you would like each other to be, then you really have the right path for wonderful happy marriage. you can weather all of life's ups and downs when you love truly and are loved truly. you wont need to renew your marriage as its always being renewed by constant loving. to make your marriage last you both have to be committed to each other through all the trials of life and the ups of life. too many people love very superficially,it the person they love is attractive and has all the attributes they like its okay,but should she gain twenty pounds or even have some pimples on her face, a lot of socalled marriages dissolve almost immediately. if the guy loses his job and cannot get another one immediately the wife will hurry to the divorce court so as to find another more monied man. So all these things should be thought of before ever getting married, again only unconditional love will let people feel secure in marriage.

That is 99.9% crazy to renew your marriage contract. What you have to renew is your love to your partner everyday of your life. You are married to a person for life.

It's the couple that can only tell if they are ready for this another chapter in their lives. But, I hope so, my vow to my future husband will be for a lifetime. So help me God.

I think the entire discussion is confusing several different concepts. Marriage is a contract, no different than a contract in a business partnership. It is the legal creation of a joint entity, that of you and your spouse. The wedding and/or any other religious, spiritual or personal significance placed on the act of getting married are a separate issue. This is why gay marriage should be a non-issue and why renewable contracts for marriage are actually a fine idea for a society. Even if there was a cost associated with a renewal, the cost to the couple is far less than the cost of a divorce (financially and emotionally), especially if kids/property is involved. Allowing couples to select their contract duration allows for those seeking a lifetime commitment to get exactly what they want AND for those seeking something else to do the same. No judgment need be laid on either side by the other.

Actually it does not sound half bad to me. Most marriages die within 3 to 5 years, so yes that would be a good idea if you ask me. I think with something like that, I might just get married again. But we don't have that here, so I will stay single. I have a BF, he wants to get married this year, but I am too scared. If it would be a renewable marriage, I would take the chance. People change when they get married, some get very possessive others tend to turn into mean characters. Some seem to think that because they are married they don't have to work on the relationship anymore and become respect less idiots. No, to me I think it is a great idea. Why make people imprison themselves for life just for making one mistake?

I am not on the go for the marriage renewable license. I rather preserve the teaching before than having it renewed like business permits. The value of marriage life was in trouble for that said renewed. It involves money, for we will pay for our married vows renewal. What kind of bill is this? For the people who struggles for poverty andstarvation in their daily living, how can they renewed if they dont have enough budget even though for their food? Some are living together even no marriage at all or blessing with priest or pastor its because they can't afford to have a wedding party . And now, it comes; it really adds the poverty of our fellowmen and additional burden to everyone. Those who are fun of changing their partners will be fine and the pitiful is the spouse doing strong to keep the marriage a holy one.

I don't think this addresses the problem of couples who got married and found themselve falling out of love or losing their respect for each other so much that they can't stand to stay married. Instead of imposing this on everyone else, what can probably be done is to make it easier for those who need their marriages cancelled to do so. Say, if they've been separated for a certain number of years, make it easier to file for annulment, or maybe legalize divorce. But don't make a mockery of marriage as an institution by automatically assuming that people who get married will eventually want out.

Yap that is crazy I don't like that law because it is crazy for the GOD.

HeLlo eileen, for me getting married is one of the best highlights in our lifetime. The vows that were shared by the couple during the wedding ceremony means a lot, not only for them but also in front of the Lord. A vow for me is a promise. A promise that should be kept forever. So what's the essence of vowing if only it will be renewed after years? Getting married is not a joke. As what my elders said, one should really think a million times before saying "I do.". I hope in the future, my marriage will last to a lifetime. Godbless you. Happy Lotting!

according to me its good to remarriage but only that time when person is divorce by other person or husband or wife is no more then its good. but if person is already engaged then its a crime. if you are really alone then i am in favour of renewable marriage contract.

There's advantages and disadvantages on this subject matter. Advantages are any couples can easily marry and separated from each other as soon as their marriage contracts expire. There will be no guilty feeling that you really have to be there till your last breath and no divorce fees needed. On the contrary, marriages will not be considered aS SACRED; LIVING VOWS OF TWO PEOPLE UNITED UNDER THE MARRIAGE OATH and a lot more. Hence, it entails many broken relationships so as broken vows. There is no guarantee that you will spend the rest of your life to the person you married and build a life with him to the fullest. What if they already have kids? Kids will also suffer. Traditionally, we were raised with a stable family with parents and siblings all together in the same roof. There will be major impact for them and to the couples as well. I still believe that marriage is a sacred thing that anybody should be sure of. If not, they will die...(just joking). :)

When we say we marry someone for better or for the worse, then it is preposterous to renew marriages over a period. It is a life long contract.

No... first of all, i don't like contract in marriage.....................

ohhh my... i can't emagine if this will happened. maybe the registrar's office will employ many staff...he he
