something radical and shocking hit me when i watched the national tv channel through the news bulletin at 9.30 pm which featured a couple who were just married.
so what's shocking?
this couple made news because the marriage is based on the latest proposed ordinance by the government of mexico which permitted a 2 years' temporary marriage.
instead of the customary vows exchanged between the newly-wed man and wife, the union is not the traditional 'till death do us part', but a temporal one.
mexico has perhaps one of the highest rate of divorces in the world where up to 50% of marriages end in divorce.
my comments:
as a christian, i believe that marriage is an institution ordained by Almighty God and therefore, what He has joined together, let no man put asunder.
and if u are looking for a temporary union, yes, it is also available here in our red dot nation.
but sorry, it is not what u are thinking.
i'm talking about an insurance contract which is also temporal in nature.
yes, i'm referring to term insurance which may be suitable for u because there are many different terms of coverage available, whether a yearly renewable term (a union of one year) or a 5 year renewable one and so on and so forth.
in other words, u can hold on to your insurance contract (or partner) for as short or as long as u like. but should u wish to be together for the long term or even for life, there are other contracts available, even for whole of life, or till death do u part.
in other words, u can have your cake and eat it.
