Should Marriage Be A Contract That Expires - Episode 30

Imagine if every marriage was a contract that had an expiration date. How would this change the dynamics of your relationship? Would you work harder and put more effort into making the marriage work if you knew that your partner could choose not to renew your marriage contract in 2 years? Oftentimes, we don't do a great job of checking in regularly with our partners about how they feel about the state of their relationship. Left too long unchecked, small problems could quickly turn into big problems that might break the marriage. Love is a choice, and in this episode Linda & Will ponder about how we might act with more urgency and care if we knew that there was an expiration on our marriage contract and that there was a possibility that the other spouse might not sign for a renewal.
