Cliffs: German Politician wants marriages in Germany to automatically expire after 7 years.



At first I thought this was just a crazy idea, but after thinking about it for a minute, it kind of makes sense. After 7 years, it makes the couple to talk about if they really want to "renew" their marriage. Forces them to face the issue instead of fostering a loveless and meaningless marriage that people may stay in just because it's "comfortable" or "easier than a divorce".

It'll probably never happen but I get where she's coming from.


Discuss.
