QuoteOriginally posted by: traderjoe1976They should make a marriage license like a drivers license. It has to be renewed every 5-8 years with the option of not renewing the license without any penalty like alimony, child support, etc. This is the only way that the institution of marriage can survive.Real problem with marriage is soon after entering this institution people leave meet market and their liquidity and marketability go notch by notch, like holes on the belt when you get too content and switch from going to the gym and chasing hot and mean chicks to chasing another beer, or schnitzel or an extra hour of TV, or dragging your feet to parent meeting/doctor/soccer/math class for lil Johnnie/Marie.Path for happiness here is opening another market. It could be "used spouse" market, just like used car market -- say you put a picture of you used overweight husband/wife with pictures front back and sideways in the used spouse section of the newspaper and there is some lost soul who'd take him/her off your hands and will pay some market price knowing fairly well that the paint is peeling and there are leaks once in a while and this baby might need some extra push to get its engine running. If you really want to get rid of a spouse pronto, you just contact a used spouse dealer -- maybe you get a discount on a new spouse for a trade in. Pretty soon, however, all this is going to be streamlined by cloning. You going to call a used spouse dealer and say,"hei dude, i am bringing back 3 year old version of 20 year old Scarlett Johanssen, i heard they reissued 19 year old Adriana Lima this spring -- make sure my clone knows how to swear properly in Russian and makes a good filet mignon too". Problem solved.
