Another thread on marriage : Is marriage obsolete?

Thats because you and Forge are Soulmates Steelish, Not just married

While I am a bachalor, I have seen friends and co-workers go through divorce. A lot of people go into Marriage without knowing what they are getting into, there is a lot of communication and compromise issues that should be dealt with before the I Do's. Unfortunetly people think marriage is sunshine and lollipops, its acutally a lot of hard work and sacrifice. ( Isn't there some Course on marriage given in schools, college and High School? ) Pre-nuptual agreements are a good idea, these days divorce is just to (!@###$!!@##$#$$@#@!@@) easy, and one partner can find Him/herself totally broken by the end. Gene Roddenberry's star trek universe had marriage as a 5 year renewable contract, sometimes I think that might not be a bad idea.

Comments anyone??

I think that might work well for a number of people, if children are not involved.

It always made sense to me.

When my first wife and I got together we agreed to have a private 1 year contract and see how it worked. By the end of the year we were convinced we were soulmates and would be together forever.

We were wrong. People change. If we'd been required to make a positive decision to confirm our relationship every, say, five years, rather than committing ourselves once and for all and then having to tear apart legally when we had drifted apart in spirit, it would have saved a lot of heartache.
