I agree most people today should not be entering into a marriage as they only view it as 'till inconvenience do us part.

I would rather have no legal method of separation from my wife other than infidelity. I made a commitment that is going face challenges. Like Ulysses bound the mast I want to be bound to my wife. So I have external forces binding me to that agreement.

Much like a personal trainer at the gym helps hold you accountable and achieve greater things than you could on your own.

The thing is, speaking for myself, every 5 years or so I’m almost a completely different person. Same context, different tenant. People change and they get bored. Maybe they don’t want to commit the entire rest of their lives to a single relationship. Divorce is the norm already, so let’s just standardize it and reduce the trauma.

Yeah, but if divorce is the norm a fixed term contract is a better option.

Personally I want an actual death do us part contract. But that no longer exists. Why can't we have both?

Sure if you can get your partner to sign you can set whatever terms you both agree on. Fully customizable. But most death-do-us-part marriages aren’t honored, so that may not be the best deal for you because since that contact comes with no predefined exit strategy, if you have assets that means litigation if someone wants out.
