Do you agree marriage should be expiry date and also should be a renewal option?

Marriage is considered everlasting in Hindu culture because it is a sacred sacrament, not a contract, that unites two individuals and their families for life and beyond, across multiple lifetimes or for eternity. This union is deeply rooted in religious duty - dharma - spiritual growth, and the pursuit of salvation - moksha.

Marriage is one of the most important life-cycle rituals in Hinduism, and considered essential for fulfilling one's duty to family, descendants, and society including producing children to keep life everlasting on earth. The bond is seen as a holistic Union of Body, Mind, and Soul for seven life cycles. It is also considered as a union between two families, not just two individuals to maintain family and community values.

The traditional Hindu view considers the marital bond indissoluble, although modern legal frameworks in India allow for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act to protect individuals in abusive or dysfunctional relationships.

It is said that a human takes countless births until he or she attains moksha. The couple should do good things together and in general if a couple does significant things together, they get merits According to this belief, marriage has expiry date and also a renewal option – only after seven life cycles.

Haha that's funny. Kinda like renewing car insurance or your Sky TV package 😂 I guess could make people try harder to be sweet to eachother near to contract end time. Just so long as, like Sky, one person doesn't offer the best deals only to new customers and not the longterm loyal one 😉

[ohsheeT]

Well that's some thing to think about for sure if people were unhappy they would have to wait until that expiration date

They would probably end it being more friendly. The most divorced people are , and if they have kids , it would be better off for them to have it happen in that form

But at the same time people might say well why even get married then. I don't know. I think it's a good question. I think that should be looked into more. It would save a lot of people from heartache and all the garbage that comes with divorce

I don’t agree… But unfortunately most marriages fail. Many people fall into one extreme or the other. Number one they believe in a fantasy they believe everything will be perfect and as soon as problems arise they don’t know how to deal with it.

Two… People marry for financial reasons they marry for social status they marry someone to impress their family and friends. They marry for the sake of having children. Those marriages also tend to fail.

[Finchie40]

I don’t agree , why get married in the first place if you want N expiration date , just stay single and selfish

[AviatorTom]

As the Democrats learned with subsidies for Obamacare, having an expiry date on something that can go on forever is a bad idea.

[Asb_Samson]

I actually see the idea in a positive way. Having an expiry date with a renewal option could make relationships healthier because it encourages both partners to keep putting effort in.
But at the same time, I feel the real strength of any relationship comes from staying connected with your existing partner communicating openly, updating each other about your needs, desires, and expectations.
If both people are honest about what they want and keep working on the relationship, then you naturally keep choosing each other again and again.
So for me, the concept is nice, but it becomes meaningful only when both partners maintain that openness and keep the relationship alive.

I'm your huckleberry. Play for keeps or don't play.

It takes serious self awareness to promise to be faithful to one person until you or they die. Anything less cheapens the covenant.

Don't mistake it. Watching the love of your life take their last breath is torture. But I wouldn't exchange anything for the 21 years I had with my wife. I'd marry again and stay until one of us dies again - even if it meant living with the loss a second time for the sake of having a second bite at that level of love.

[Bitter_Sweet94]

I don’t agree.

Love isn’t meant to feel like a contract you renew only if you’re still entertained.

Marriage should be a choice you show up for not a subscription with a countdown.

If two people stay committed, it’s because they choose each other every day, not because a paper forces them to.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

The only people I hear talking about this are men, which shows who it “benefits” more. Like if you want to just straight-up admit you don’t want a wife for love and want one so they’ll act as your live-in maid you’re allowed to fuck, you can just say that.

[Med_guy1978]

Either way it should be an automatic prenup where what you bring in you take out and any evidence of manipulation should be heavily sanctioned. Reason being, marriage has turned into a business venture in many western countries with negative intentions. Also, more rights for men with children... Equal custody 50/50.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Yes it already has but you can choose your own expiry date/termination it's called divorce.

Don't believe what ever you see on reality shows they often sell what they don't use..

And they have more options than regular people the key is how much money does one has.

[Zionne]

That’s an interesting idea, it could take pressure off couples and encourage them to actively choose each other again. But real commitment also means working through the hard parts, not just renewing when things are easy.

[Likes2drive]

That’s a new twist on marriage sort of like when you renew your drivers license after eight years, which is longer than a lot of marriages so if it does expire and you get to keep with you came in with and have the choice of renewing or not I guess it would be an easier divorce Except when children are involved

[PeachyPie93]

No.. that's what dating is lol.. If you don't want until death do you part than don't take that step..

[jazzy34]

……………


So this is the reason marriages don’t last. This is a relationship, not a product. 🙄

[SixFootSexy]

Yes and also the same limits for child support and alimony. I think most men would be down to get married if that were the case.

[Shiprex]

Yes that may make it worth trying at least. 5 year term then a walk away option. 10 once kids are in the picture.

[chrissykerdock]

it would defy vows besides people always get sick

[FreyaRed]

I'm not much older than you therefore I'm not sure, but my human nature knowledge tells me that for older women this wouldn't be a good deal.

[jahaims]

That defeats the purpose. If you aren't 100% sure you trust someone then you are an idiot for getting married.

[Mike_Whocheese_Harry]

It does have an expiry date. The vows literally state "till death do you part"

[Xawyx-2]

Nope, only if the couple wants that type of marriage.

[Crankor]

Uh no. Thats not what marriage is. Thats what dating is

[Mark987]

Good Question. I don't think it should. but couples should take it more seriously.

[Cipher_Ledger]

Agreed.

Renew if you’re happy, cancel if you’re not.

[Nice222]

Yes. A marriage contract is the only contract that does not have an expiration date……

[Mysteryperson102]

If u marry without religion like ur an atheist then yh, but for religious individuals marriage has a significance that shouldn’t be cheapened with things like that especially if ur a practicing Christian.

[genericname85]

so you think "till death does us apart" is a joke?

[Nikki1989]

The answer is unequivocally not.

[Natasha1995]

No, I hope it's forever.

[Grond21]

No. That is antithetical to a good marriage.

[Nurse_Meyers_88]

No, definitely not

[TonyMetal___86]

Ofc not, a real sacred marriage is eternal

[OlderAndWiser]

No, I disagree.

[Sebastian100]

Marriage is not made for people like you

[siezuresalad]

No - it's till death do you part.

[WhitneySnow]

No..

[V1ka5h]

No... That's not marriage is for

[JuliusCaesarr]

Absolutely

[tfan1]

Nope

[shortster]

Not in the least

[Anonymous]

😂 yeah! Why so?

[Anonymous]

Nope.

[rizzzz007]

No I don't agree

[Anonymous]

Nope

[Dennyslave]

Hahah 😅
