MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico City lawmakers want to help newlyweds avoid the
hassle of divorce by giving them an easy exit strategy: temporary marriage licenses.
Leftists in the city’s assembly — who have already riled conservatives by legalizing gay marriage — proposed a reform to the civil code this week that would allow couples to decide on the length of their commitment, opting out of a lifetime.
The minimum marriage contract would be for two years and could be renewed if the couple stays happy. The contracts would include provisions on how children and property would be handled if the couple splits.
“The proposal is, when the two-year period is up, if the relationship is not stable or harmonious, the contract simply ends,” said Leonel Luna, the Mexico City assemblyman who co-authored the bill.
“You wouldn’t have to go through the tortuous process of divorce,” said Luna, from the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution, which has the most seats in the 66-member chamber.
Luna says the proposed law is gaining support and he expects a vote by the end of this year.
Around half of Mexico City marriages end in divorce, usually in the first two years.
I searched online for a marriage definition that would challenge this because my own view is that God designed marriage to last for a life time. Wikipedia, Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com all have definitions that do NOT include any reference to it being permanent. I think that when they call ,what I view as a temporary civil union, a marriage, they devalue the term.
Bride-to-be Rachelle Friedman and her groom, Chris Chapman, give new meaning to the marriage vows to love each other “in sickness and in health.” One year after the bride was paralyzed from a freak accident during her bachelorette party, the couple will marry.

“I wish we had danced together more because I love dancing so much, and we didn’t do it enough,” she says of her soon-to-be husband. “Looking back, I would have done it every night.”

A young man was sitting next to me in one of the two “husband chairs” in a ladies’
clothing store.
After 30 minutes and five outfits, the fellow’s wife came out of the changing room again.
He looked at her and immediately said: “That looks good on you. Get that one.”
“Honey,” she replied, “this is what I was wearing when we came in.”

On July 3rd Frylake had a private fireworks show, and it was amazing! Huge thanks to Cory Squire who planned the entire show, Ryan Fuhrman who brought the music, Chad Anderson, Daniel Wyatt, and James Pearson who along with me (Aaron Campbell) did all the lighting, and to Josh Fulkerson for the photos. As you look at these just remember that the little red glowing dots at the bottom are the four of us lighting things…it was armageddon from below, but the resulting show was amazing!
