Would an option to renew marriage every 5 years reduce/make divorce obsolete & avoid breaking vows of eternity?

Let’s say that instead of marriage being "for eternity" only to later break vows if one decides to divorce, would it be a better idea for marriage to ‘expire’ every 5 years unless both parties sign a contract to renew it? This would avoid divorces too, especially if someone has only 1 more year left til expiration!

Most divorces take a year anyways and cost a fortune. This would avoid all that but on the downside it would make a lot of divorce lawyers go out of business.

It would be as easy to renew as renewing your driver’s license so those in love can do it in minutes and not give it a second thought, maybe even do a special celebration to mark it, while others would be relieved to now be single!

Does He Really Love The Other Woman?

Does he really love the other woman? I want my husband back…?

My husband and I are separated.We both worked through these issues on our own but now he met another girl. I’m due in April with our first child and he came up to the hospital yesterday because I was in preterm labor. His car is broken so he had no other way but to have this girl bring him.

Her daughter came with too and her and her daughter came in for 2 minutes to say hi and then left. I could tell he was really annoyed with her daughter bc shes nuts and he told me he hates the way she parents her daughter. He has told me hes not attracted to her but tells her he loves her?

I think part of it might be to have a place to live, but do you really think he loves her if he says hes not attracted to her and hates the way she parents? When we were leaving she was in her car already and he stopped me and hugged me for like 2-3 minutes and then kissed me on the forehead and when we were in the hospital room, he kept wanting to touch me, whether it was my hand or stomach…

I know this sounds dumb, but do you think he could be considering coming back? I’ve made it clear to him that I’m in this till the end, and that I love him no matter what.

How am I a fool for trying to save a marriage? I said these vows to my husband and I meant them for LIFE through anything and everything! I wonder why so many people are divorced today! You give up too easily!
Um, yes he did stay with me in the hospital… did I not say we walked out together to our cars?

I’m not sure where you’re getting him being there for 2 minutes… he was there the entire time I was at the hospital… which was 5 hours.

I wish I could give several of you best answers. I really appreciate those of you saying that marriage IS worth it and divorce is the LAST resort.

Can I Recover From a Broken Heart?

Recovering from a broken heart is a tough task, i know, but are there any ways that i can heal my hurt and start living again?

So we are friends. At first I was fine with that, until he offered to marry me to come to his country (he is Australian and I am in the US). The reason why he’s told me that is because I said i was thinking of moving there because it’s a really nice country. But he only offered because he said he would marry anyone who wanted to come to this country kind of like a mail order bride. But he said that he would not be emotionally involved or honor any vows.

It’s not so much that he wants to do this but more so because he even offered me. I told him no.. I feel so hurt that he would even think of me as such…

Now he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with me (he never wanted to be in a relationship with anyone before me and he says I am the first he’s ever fallen for).

He only wants to be my friend because he says I am the first person he is ever been so close with. I know more about him and his past than anyone he’s ever known.

How To Recover From a Broken Heart?

Is it possible to recover from a broken heart it and start feeling good again?

This guy I was engaged with for some time really rocked my world. We had a lot in common and we did really fit perfectly. However, when our engagement was a couple of months old, he slowly started to act different than he used to do. The reason for this was that he had mpd – multiple personality disorder.

He only wants to be my friend because he says I am the first person he is ever been so close with. I know more about him and his past than anyone he’s ever known.
