There are lots of licenses (truck drivers, medical doctors, professional engineers) that require a test and/or some kind of apprenticeship. If you take the same approache to marriage it may work better. People have to live together for at least 1 year before they get a license and all the legal and financial goodies that go with it. If police is called in to separate a domestic dispute during this period the year starts over. |

Then they shouldn't get married, in which case you would be a proponent of this idea to discourage somewhat uncertain marriages. As of right now, I'm the only one that gave it a bun. |

If this was exactly how a driver's insurance liability rates rose after a rule infraction and subsequent infractions (look within for proof of correlation), I say it is a fine idea. If I had been willing to come up with $ome grands for "the one", well, what does that prove? |
