A GERMAN politician has proposed a law making marriage contracts null and void after seven years, with the option to renew for those not feeling the proverbial itch.
"I propose that marriages lapse after seven years,'' Gabriele Pauli told reporters in Munich, the capital of the largely Catholic southern state of Bavaria.
"This would mean that one will only commit for a fixed period and will actively have to renew your vows if you still want to continue.''

why not just let people get divorced when they want to?
why do happily married people have to go through the process of renewing their marriage. Seems like another beaurocratic way of creating an issue from a non issue.
Kind of dumb and pointless in my opinion.
