Til Death Do Us Part - Or 2 Years, Whichever Comes First

It used to be, back in the days of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, that people would go to Mexico for a quickie divorce. Now, if the proposed legislation passes, people in Mexico can get a quickie marriage - sort of. The proposed legislation would allow people to decide how long they would be married, with a minimum of two years. They would decide ahead of time what they would do about children, money and other things if the marriage doesn't work out. If, at the end of the time they had decided, they don't want to stay married, then they no longer are. No divorce necessary. At first it may sound crazy, but I think it really sounds quite civilized. Much more civilized than divorce court.
