When a man and a woman get married, there should be a law on the books that says that each one of them needs to have an escrow account with $10,000 dollars for each of them, established in the bank before they can tie the knot. For the first ten years of marriage, the state government should be in charge of those accounts, and if the couple wants a divorce, they can have all the money back except for whatever number of years they didn't stay married.
For example: a couple who only stays married two years will get a rebate of $2000 dollars, three years - $3000 and so on. Whatever the balance is, the state should get to keep it and use it for school and road improvements, etc.
A couple who makes it past the ten-year mark should be rewarded, and the state should match their account dollar-for-dollar so that they get back $20,000 each. That's $40,000 for the kids' college fund, a new house, whatever they want.
Any couple who divorces in less than a year should lose it all.
