My husband and i went to Bermuda back in 1982 we took a cab from the airport to the hotel and on the way we were talking to the driver about different thinks. Marriage came up and he told us that if a man is not happy or satisfied with his wife he had the right to divorce her and remarry after 5 or 7 years i don't remember which it is.The wife had no say so in the matter. I was really up set and the driver said it like it was no big deal to do that. Another thing if a man marries a woman not from the island and he decides after 5/7 years he does not want her as his wife she has to move off the island. What a horrible place for a woman to live never knowing if her husband is going to divorce her. After we got out my husband and I talked about it and said he was kidding around with us now I'm not so sure. I guess men can do that .

I'm not sure what you are asking here. Why would your marriage be limited? I'd like to help but I don't understand the parameters of this inquiry.
Are you asking why get married at all? Most people do it because they want to make a public committment to each other, they want everybody to know how they feel about each other and because, presumably, they intend to be together until they die. Marriage for any other reason is probably a mistake. So I guess if you're asking why get married, the answer is because you love the person, you've known them long enough to believe you can stand being around them for about 50 years and you've had enough experience to know you won't be tempted by others.

I saw this on the news - they are talking about limiting marriages to 7yrs after which time you would have to re-commit to your spouse. Apparently it's in the statistics that most marriages don't last that long anyway or something...
I don't really understand why they would want to do this except to keep the statistics of divorce down. I understand & agree with what you're saying - why get married if they are going to limit your marriage to 7yrs? You may as well stay in a committed relationship without getting married.

Which question do you want answered first? Why can't you be around to watch your kids grow up? Being married gives you legal rights who don't have otherwise. Social security, medical decisions, etc..And if you have kids, beleive me they will be more comfortable if their parents are legally married.

I read that article where the Brazilian President (?) wants to have 7 yr marriages... BUT.. key word was.. if you want the marriage to continue you can renew it.
I am not impressed with what she was saying. I believe marriage is a life long commitment.

Perfectly fine.Children are a responsibility of a life time(even after they are married and settled).We should know what we want and go ahead .

is a bit strange in fact but who knows maybe is less stressful the idea of being with one person for the whole life........then if you still love each other you may extend the period.........
