If marriage certificates were to expire like driver's licenses, would you renew yours?

Also, what would be your reason to renew or not renew?

Dtruthspeaker:


Driver's license is not even supposed to expire but nigerians do not know their rights.

Secondly, the certificate is not the one fueling a marriage as there are marriages with no certificates and there are separations with marriage certificate. So it has no value.

Don't be deceived. There's no marriage that couple haven't felt like splitting at one point or the other. A lot of couples are still in the marriage just for the children. Forget those paparazzi on social media. At home it is either hell or just managing the situation. To answer your question most people will not renew it?

Why won't I renew?

nihinlade:
Yes, will renew months before expiry.

Angelfrost:
If it were temporary, I would apply and pay for a lifetime extension... I'm married to one of a kind.

Omoawoke:
This generation, marriage should be temporary

The idea that it should be a life time commitment is scary and even worse. It should not be irreversible.

Sometimes, some things don’t just meet our expectations, and not until you experience it before you realize it wasn’t just for you.

If it is temporary, it gives people less pressure and a happier life.
You can try it out, if you love it, extend the union and enjoy as long as it makes meaning.
If it is not for you, cut out and continue your search for happiness.
With this, you can marry early and try it out, you can take more risks rather than over calculating and facing series of pressure of getting it right with only one and last shot

freetheking:
I will renew it over and over again without minding the cost.

sureinfo:
God in heaven knows many people no go renew after the first 4 years

MemoriesAndMe:


Driver's license expires in every country bro, even in the US. You always have to renew it.

MemoriesAndMe:

It's marriage license they expect to be permanent.

MemoriesAndMe:

That's why many people don't want to get married, they prefer baby mamas.

To get a court marriage, you only need to sign 2 or 3 pages of paper in the courts, to get divorced when you have properties, money and kids, that's when both of you will start hiring lawyers and you will end up signing more than 50 pages of papers depending on how much property to be shared.

That's why many opt for pre-nuptial agreements before considering marriage

PoliteActivist:


Certificate may mean nothing to you but it is everything to the law. Without that piece of paper you can walk away anytime you wish. But with it, you have to go file papers, hire a lawyer, have a court case with several adjournments, etc before people who don't know you will decide if you can walk away or not, and under what conditions!

Chironks:


Can you share one word about your partner that will make you want to renew?

Chironks:


Having a kind partner is a huge blessing. Kindness is one of the most important factors in sustaining a healthy marriage, yet people rarely consider it.
