Marriage is only an empty promise.
Suppose I promise my neighbor that I will clean her car tomorrow if she cleans mine today. She cleans my car today, but I don't clean hers tomorrow simply because I don't feel like it. To make matters worse, she doesn't even care. Of what value was my promise?
We have a similar situation for marriage. Divorce is so easy to come by, and there is no stigma to it. So, of what value was the marriage vow? Zero.
The only reason for marriage today is to get tax breaks. In my opinion, those who break their sacred vows by getting a divorce should be penalized by being required to repay their tax breaks.
No, forget it. This proposal is not on your beloved news media. So just forget about it. It can't be any good, now can it?
If we would try this proposal, divorce lawyers would be forced to try doing something productive--like shining shoes.
Oh, no, forget what I'm saying. You love lawyers. They're great people, aren't they?
