Marriage Contracts With Expiration Dates
By Monique Agustin

In one of my online jobs I was tasked to do biographies of famous people mostly those in Hollywood. I have noticed that most of them have divorced maybe once or twice. I live in a country where divorce is not allowed but I have heard about the ordeal that people go through when filing for a divorce. I myself am a product of a broken family, from my grandparents, parents and now me. But because I am bound by such contract I have no option but to abide by that contract. Although my husband and I are no longer living together we are still considered married.

Now that I'm forty I only recall signing three types of contracts; one is a lease contract that I signed when I got an apartment, an employment contract which I get every time someone hires me and a marriage contract; of the three two have expiration dates and one has none. Why can't we just apply expiration dates to marriage contracts as well? I know those who are conservative are now raising their eyebrows telling me it's immoral. If you think marriage is a sacred vow then try to renew every time it expires.

I am sure that lawmakers are encountering issues with their marriage as well. Why don't they come up with laws that would give them the liberty to end their ordeal by patiently waiting for their marriage to expire. A lot may think that it is funny but when you see your child in the witness stand being asked about how mommy and daddy fight or what they fight about; I guess you would be thinking of my suggestion.

But you have to wonder why the term "happily ever after" no longer exists. These trying times where both husband and wives are working, there is no concrete job description of what each partner would do. A few decades back, you would seethe mother taking care of the home while the father tries to earn a living. Nowadays, both parents are trying to earn a living so who gets to take care of the needs of the home, should it still be the wife? Then you begin to ask yourself, women are known to have frail and weak bodies and men are perceived to be stronger, shouldn't it be the other way around? This is something for you to think about. Technology has been changing in a blink of an eye so I think laws should adapt to these changing times as well.

Why don't we include an expiration date when signing a marriage contract?
