10 Years Expiry for Marriage

January 13, 2010 · Filed Under opinion · 1 Comment 

When I first heard about this one on the morning news, I was like “What?!?!”

I mean, why would anybody want to impose an expiration date on something blessed as a marriage? Is it not a sacrament?

The woman who came up with the idea argues that it is for those who are abused, who are in a rut as far as their own marriages are concerned… But if you are being beaten to the core, would you wanna wait for 10 years because by then the validity of the “marriage” would be kapoof”? Wouldnt it be best to seek help from others the moment or before it happens, seek therapy to make things better?

I dont know.. Maybe people have to clue me on this… to me, marriage is something to be worked on — to perfect through the years… it’s not like okay i got pregnant, let’s go wed, and have honeymoons at cancun hotels… it’s all about finding that one person with whom youll be spending the rest of your life… for better or for worse.. for richer, for poorer… till death do you part… not til ten years, then let’s just renew it… so we could marry someone else… and then we’ll wait another ten years.. omg.

I like what Anthony Taberna said.. it’s something like, pray that you will be blessed with a wonderful, perfect partner, and with faith — you will be given just that…. and for sure, you would wanna spend your whole life with that special someone.

Love and faith…
