Marriage beginners' permit?

Mexico is generally regarded as a conservative place. Mexico City is a liberal area within the country, however. In Mexico, more than 50 percent of all marriages end in a divorce, most within the first two years. Divorce in Mexico varies according to state and jurisdiction, but generally a court proceeding must be carried out in order to dissolve the marriage. Marriage in Mexico is recognized only civilly, and religious ceremonies carry no weight, legally. Now, Mexico City lawmakers are suggesting 2 year union licenses as a way to cut down on clogged courts and sloppy divorces. 2 year marriage licenses may be issued in Mexico City. Many conservative groups are still stinging from Mexico City’s move to legalize same-sex unions, which is still very controversial within the largely Roman Catholic country.

I don't like it, marriage i supposed to be for life. If it fails it shouldn't be easy to walk away from. Otherwise where is the incentive to try and make it work.

marriage (is) supposed to be for life

Interestingly I found this story when looking up aging issues. One of the stories was supposedly the first person to live to be 150 is probably born by now, a side story to that is what happens to some institutions when people start to live to such ages. Back in 1900 (the age of my grandparents) "marriage for life" meant 10-15 years, very soon it might mean 130 years (say for my grandchildren). It is odd to think between the time of the birth of my grandparents (1895-1899) and my grandkids (2002) things will change that much. The story went on to predict what happens to such things when life starts to take on a meaning of centuries VS what we are use to.

Yeah but on the other hand every 2 years you can get a new piece of ass.

Just celebrated our 28th this past July. Don't know if either of us "picked" the other but love is what it is and for us I believe it's forever just like our marriage.

How pathetic this is. People get married and think it's a joke.

The saddest thing is that I'm still married after 26 years and that makes me a MINORITY.
