Marriage works just fine, as long as the two people involved work at the marriage. Sometimes they don't want to do that. Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances.

It can work, though. I've been happily married for 24 years. My parents for 53 years. My in-laws for nearly at long. My wife's grandparents were married for 67 years when her granddad died. Research shows that happily married people, especially men, are far healthier than single ones. Marriage isn't a waste of money, either. Divorce is. But married people are usually in better financial and tax shape than single people.

I read someplace that marriage certificates with expiration dates were being discussed somewhere in the United States. Might be a good idea--and a possible alternative to divorce. The expiration date of the marriage certificate comes up and a couple who doesn't want to recommit simply doesn't renew the license and goes their separate ways. Makes sense to me.
