I propose that since we DO have to take out a license to marry somebody, we treat it just like any other license. Say, every two years. A laminated license as show of proof nesting next to your drivers and fishing license. The license application form would be along the lines of, but not as detailed as, an income tax form. No muss, fuss, or legal bills.
Love is a two-way street they claim.
The cynic in me often looks at the absurdities of life in such ways. Perhaps even a shield. Sure came in handy during the heat of divorce battle. But being wiser for having been through this will surely have me weighing both the option, and the sanctity of marriage, much more heavily than I did the first time. What matters most is that people take a good look at where they are at in their marriage or relationship.
