" It's. Till death do us part wedding analysis sound internal but they don't have to be with just about 50%. Of marriages now ending in divorce. Why not make a 78 year contract for marriage okay he would -- were -- at the end of seven years is -- sound crazy well it's an idea being proposed in Australia and Germany. Can you run your magic."
" A business deal will last Laurie Puhn and she is a relationship expert and family law attorney and the author of instant persuasion this to me Lori. Sounds a bit crazy clearly my -- is on board but."
" Why get married this is a commitment for life if you -- out after seven years it's not marriage. "
" Well Dave we already have a seven year contract it's called a very long engagement. Lots of people -- you don't need to share money you don't need to have children it's simple to get out of that. So my belief that not really because when you're engaged people pressuring on the wedding and what is the litigate what what -- well don't you think in a five year period your children even are going to thank. Did I Vieira and how can you make -- good point here's what the woman who was pushing it in the legislature. Legislator in Germany who was pushing it says. After the initial period each partner would have to say yes again in order to prolong the marriage if they do there's no reason why marriage should not end up a lifelong partnership. But if they don't we'd save the financial and emotional costs of divorce guess what you have. Because if you shared any money you have this -- financial who pays the debt had -- but the bank accounts. --"
" I mean it's not just be the guys there's a woman here on Twitter it's fun runners at twitter.com is a few new. It was only for seven years you would not work as hard on the marriage. Would have to look at it that's what I completely agree."
" It would also have encouraged to see. Because people would start hiding there in com during that five -- at knowing -- have to split it. He and but let's face it -- not like -- it is going with this he he's -- very sort of idealistic about this but marriage is not exactly working out ideally here. 50%. End in divorce though don't we need to fix it somehow. Well right now the CDC says that couples who live together about half of them break out after five years. Loser couples who might have chosen this five -- seven year marriage. Certain people shouldn't get married that that is the problem VP stuff. --"
" I like the long engagement people who live together figuring out Laurie Puhn. Author of instant persuasion. I agree with your take on this."
" It banks Lorena yeah I'm just getting its thank."
