marriage license renewed
Maybe a marriage license should be renewed.
I mean …. what license out there isn’t required to be renewed? Driver’s licenses,
Professional licenses,
Government issued licenses…
they all need a renewal.
Some even require continued education.
So let’s turn back time …
and put a few new terms together for the “marriage license”.
Prior to the expiration date,
both partners have to complete a little “continuing education” —
individually, mind you —
and girls how is he going to remember this special date?
does he remember any special date?
Each person has to complete their educational part,
and they follow-up with a check 
in one box:
renew …… or
not to renew.
This will be on paper, sure it can be done online….
However validated in black and white.
A completed test supplied to each,
Maybe useful on your marriage resume.
Now picture the suspense…
waiting for the mail to deliver the results.
Did he renew?
Did she renew?
Drum roll
Best case:
Both renew —
life goes on happily until the next renewal.
Next best:
Both do not —
and we know exactly where that leads.
Worst case:
One does and one does not.
A marriage purgatory. 
Now what?
Well, I am not going to leave it at that.
Now,
we have predetermined terms and conditions.
Think about it…
one wants in and one wants out.
Under our new terms,
The stipulation written, witnessed and signed.
The one who wants out,
pays for the divorce —
at a predetermined price.
No mystery,
no guesswork,
just part of the agreement.
A marriage insurance policy,
with the special rider.
Sorry divorce attorneys,
Hands out of our savings accounts.
You are extinct!
Remove yourself from all google searches.
Find yourself another area of the law.
We already had our insurance agent handling this.
Would this strengthen our relationships?
Knowing you have to put forth everything you have,
To keep everything you want.
I believe it would
I can feel your bubble pop
‘She’s got a point’
