Try before you "buy"...lease type deals? The option to renew every 6 months?
Great idea, i think.

I absolutely love the idea. It would help prevent those clinger women who are totally sex crazed and are really just after the money and then once married completely stop all the lovin' (read: blowjobs) and become b-i-o-itches.
See I want to get married but everyone is either entirely pro strict marriages that last forever or you just know it would only last for a little while and you both would get bored.
The lease option just sounds great. And obviously if you wanted to get out before the contract was up (like cell phones) you would have to pay some fines but it would still be cheaper than divorce.
I wonder if adoption agencies would be willing to try it out too?

Hello, I certainly don't mean to insult you, as I am not yet married and I don't understand your reasoning behind your question. However, when I marry, I will marry for life. Until one of us dies. To have and to hold, for better or worse, for richer or poorer.
Expiring marriage licences would only prompt people to get married and then divorced faster than the current rate. You make the opposite sex (guys OR girls) sound like a commodity to be leased or traded like cattle and inanimate objects, not loved and cherished like people should be. If you don't want to treat your "husband" like a human being, why should he treat YOU like one? That's gonna be great business for the self-esteem support groups.
If you love someone enough to spend your life with them, then you should have to go through all the good AND bad times, and not have the option to bail when things go bad. Or when you lose interest. If you want to see if you REALLY want to marry someone, live with them for 6 months as a probationary period. I guarantee, any bad habits that you can't live with will definitely show up in that time.
Cheers!

Huh?
Marriage licenses are the things you file with the county to get permission to get married, like after they check you're not brother/sister or something like that. They don't mean you're married, it just means you have a 30-day window (or whenever they expire, which they do) to find an officiant to marry you. I personally don't see a problem with that other than slight annoyance if it expires and you haven't arranged the wedding ceremony yet.
Marriage certificates are the things that mean you're legally married. They get filed with the county after the officiant does the ceremony for you. I don't think these should have an expiration date, for all the reasons stated before.

No, why should you have to renew your marriage? The reason why you have to renew your license is to keep tabs on drivers. Driving can be a dangerous thing and that's why your license needs to be renewed. But a marriage license shouldn't have to be renewed, no.

You are just joking, right? Do you understand the concept of vows? Is your word worth anything? Do you believe in and strive to be an honorable person? If you are going to be that way, then why bother even getting married?

I don't think so, because there is no time limit for a marriage, it's forever
