Dear Mylotters,
I saw this article in our local newspaper. It was said that what if all the marriage only last for 5 years, meaning, husband and wife get married, the marriage will only vaild for 5 years, not a life time things. 5 years later, you guys felt that you are not fit each other, then the marriage will be release, don't need to do the divorce thing. If you guys feel you are good to be together, then another 5 years start.....
Now, what do you think? Will that help two couples to cherish each other better for there are only 5 years? Might be not much fights?
Please share your thoughts. Thank you.

That might work and will be grossly advantageous to many men around if that law would be passed. For those that are womanizers then that would mean they could switch to a new partner. While in the marriage he could do as he wish as a husband then after five years he may just abandon the wife and his children and find another wife. For women that would grossly be disadvantageous because it may come to a point that he would just be a breeding ground since after five years the man who fathered his child might just abandon her because their marriage is and will be voided/annulled. For me as a man that is okay but for many women I don't think that it may just become more of a disadvantage than an advantage. It will breed more irresponsible man out and make them more promiscuous in the long run.

Married 41 years and I do agree with the rest, there were many ups and downs and had the five year thing happened during one of those down moments,I know we would not be stll together.It does take work to stay together and having that paper showing true commitment is enough cement to get thru most of those times. The question you have to ask yourself is would I be better off without this person.

Sounds interesting, i think this is not a rules for marriage?
in fact, maybe it isn't obey the law which was made by our government.in the first two years, maybe this is good for hubby and wife, they fell that the times will be passed quickly, so they should be treasure it well, but on the follow years,they will though of that we will single in 5 years, so they don't know to endur each other,and the problem will have issued in the dailylife,so when the 5 years passed, two result have been existed: one is both couple lived happeness and would like to life together. and the second couple will be break down, then continued to looking for and life with another one,because of compare and satisfaction.of course,those idea are supposed. good luck!
