I think Football can teach us a lot about life and lifes events- such as marriage.
I'm a happily married man of 9 years- but I look around and see a lot of married people who are less than happy- staggeringly high divorce rate and think there could be fewer divorces if marriage contracts were more like football contracts.
Instead of being "for life" they should operate on four year contracts that can be extended- or allow one party to leave on a Bosman if expectations arn't met... no messy divorce courts etc.
Just like footballers have "buyout clauses" spouses should have this option... So if one spouse gets tired of the other- just hand them £1000 to execute the buyout clause.
Perhaps have other "get-out" clauses... "Honey, if you don't get promoted within the year, I get to walk... "
Simple ways to cut the divorce rate, have fewer divorce cases clogging up the courts... and who knows- couple that might have split- decide to see out the end of their contract and decide they like each other afterall.
Who knows- it might mean less adultery too- would-be-cheaters might be deterred by charges of "tapping-up" if they try to pick up someone already serving under a marraige contract.
