They are looking for 'viable' ways to tackle the divorce epidemic.
Some had suggested cohabitation, saying that it can provide couples with the opportunity to test the waters before plunging into marriage, which may diminish the likelihood of divorce.
Now, another person has suggested creating a marriage that lasts for a period of time as the key.
So instead of the traditional marriage where the couples exchange vows to spend the rest of their lives together, they want it to be replaced by the contract marriage that runs for a period of, say, ten years.
According to vardags, "A 10-year marriage contract embraces the human drive to formally couple. It offers the legal and emotional protection that marriage affords us, but also embraces the very realities of how we live our lives today. We no longer expect anything to last forever.”
As the couple approaches nine years they sit down and decide if they want to amicably part ways, or renew their contact and make changes and new goals for the next phase of life, love and marriage.
If a couple decides not to renew their contact they can split and instead of saying they failed at something are able to celebrate that they completed a ten year marriage contract.
Because of this new type of marriage, some couples have already started eliminating the words “till death do us part, forsaking all others” from their vows.
*Weighing it by worldly wisdom, it sounds wise right? But the question is, what does godly wisdom say? God instituted marriage and any attempt to deviate from what marriage is is simply the devil working hard to destroy the sacred institution of marriage.
Marriage is the foundation upon which every family ought to be birthed. That is God's will and plan. So you see why Satan is doing everything to annihilate marriage in itself.
"If the foundation be destroyed, what will the righteous do?"
These people are going about tackling divorce the wrong way. When we learn to run our marriages by God's Word, marriages will never fail. There it is, that's the solution to divorce problem.
God's intention is for marriage to be a lifelong relationship not a temporary fixed term contract.
