Divorce rates running rampant. Custody in question. Are there fundamental changes we could make to improve the institution of marriage?
- Term limits? What if you had to reapply for your marriage every 4 or 8 years? Are humans meant to mate for life?
- Should couples live together in close quarters, or are separate homes a good idea? Consider Frida Kahlo and Diego Rviera. Separate houses, connected by a bridge.
- Is it good to keep finances separate, and eliminate major joint purchases?
- What is a reasonable level of commitment? Is there a way to make lifelong marriages more sustainable?
