marriage contract ?
hmm i wonder about the death do us part clause in marraige vows. what if it was like a cell phone contract ? you sign up for two years with the option to renew your plan when the contract is up. wouldnt that be a better way instead of the divorce way ? it would just about put 50 % of the lawyers out of business. that way after the honeymoon is over and married life begins, you only got to wait the two years and then just go you seperate ways. of course a prenup would be in order on every marraige and children kind of change your options and you have to renew at a higher rate and all. what do you think guys/gals. ? imagine having the choice to upgrade every two years or add options or keep the same plan you have if after two years you decide that you really love your plan.

Your plan would work if you had two people that made about the same amount of money and had no intention of ever owning anything or building any kind of savings.
Otherwise, the lawyers will still be needed, only thing is they would be needed at the beginning of every marriage. The parties would need to decide who pays what bills, if you buy a home together, who pays the mortgage, how the house gets titled and all that fun stuff. Trust me, I'm not paying a dime towards a house that isn't in my name under the "contract theory" and you'd better have a maid to clean "your" house. Then at the end of the contract period you'd need those wonderful lawyers again because not many people believe that a contract is written in stone.
I'll stick to the way things are now - what's mine is mine and what's his is mine.
