If you're referring to a limited period marriage license, my stand is that it's sheer, and utter nonsense. If a couple does not wish to enter into a standard, long term marriage with all of the legal responsibilities, benefits, and family relationships, then they're not ready for marriage.

If a couple wishes to make their own type of commitment or arrangement that suits them, they should go ahead and do that. If they wish to have it include some legal terms, then draw up a personal, legal contract. If you believe that such couples need a set of standard legal requirements then design a bill that covers some standard arrangements that are different from standard marriage laws, then do that; but please call it something besides a marriage.

I'm all for being fair to changing times and social situations. When people enter into a real marriage, they're not just making a legal union between two people. They're enjoining families and relationships in that union, and that includes family members who aren't even born yet. To call a relationship a marriage when it is really something else, is truly unfair to everyone close to the people involved and the public at large.

Perhaps it is time for something that falls between a long term relationship and a marriage, just figure out what that is, what to call it, and what, if any legal, support it should have. A limited term marriage license is nonsense.

It makes me think that a limited term legal adoption might be next, which really makes me shudder. When it comes to human relationships, the sincerity of commitment is an essential element.
