Marriage is a reflection of God's relationship with man. Should that dissolve after 7 years?

I'm not even sure what the question means. Do you mean should a marriage be forced to dissolve after 7 years?
If that's what you mean, why would anyone think that?

No..it's a decision two people have made and need to stick it out. If you can't..then you need to pay the penalties of divorce. If marriage just "dissolved" after 7 years..then no one would take marriage seriously.

I rather like the idea of a renewable contract. But there are a few things I would add. Like no children can be born in the first seven years. If you choose to renew after that, then by all means have a child, by then you should know whether or not you are going to stay together, and the child will never have to go thru the trauma of seeing the two people it loves most in the world at each other's throats in a divorce proceeding.
A renewable civil contract makes much more sense to me than declaring "til death do us part". If after seven years, you choose not to renew the contract, then you just take what you brought to the partnership and go your own way, much less traumatic, much less costly, and guess what? THE LAWYERS LOSE!!! woo hoo.

The proposal was about non-church marriages dissolving, which means that the person proposing this sees non-church marriages as something less than church marriages.
I think it stinks.
I have been married for 21 years, we got married in a registry office, and we are the most committed couple I know.

Yes, marriage should dissolve after 7 years, if marriage meant "till death do us part, or we reach 7 years."
What a stupid thought! If you don't want to be married to someone, how about you don't marry them?

What a ridiculous notion. Sounds like the backlash of somebody who got divorced twice.
If people want to end their marriage after 7 years, or 17 years, or 7 minutes, they are free to get a divorce.

I dont' know about a dissolving of marriage.... maybe a renewal of the marriage license and if the couple decides that the marriage isn't working they can choose to allow it to "expire" ?
I don't know.... I think it should just be up to the couple. I don't really think that there should be any government intervention to say how long marriages should last.

No I really don't. :) I do think that the world should operate under a contract sort of thing instead of trying to bring Christianity into their "marriage" when they sometimes do not believe (in Jesus') the idea of "blessing" a marraige where maybe one or the other has not committed their life to Christ (making them a Christian) is really a misrepresentation of Christianity altogether. It sprang from Catholicism, this idea you can "play God" and decide something is blessed when it truly is not. I think there should be a seperation and the world should do things their way and christians do things theirs.
