Thank both of you, Kay and Nick, for taking the time to write about your concepts of marriage. Your points are well taken, and I agree with you.

I need feedback on the time limited aspect of the proposal. Otherwise, TLM is marriage in all other respects.

I do not think anyone has answers, but I would like to hear opinions: What are ways that putting a time limit on marriage would affect ones marriage? Try to imagine situations where you might entertain the choice of TLM with a partner. What would be the appeal? If your present marrriage or situation were on a time limited basis, would you be happier? Would you more likely stay (forever) with that partner?

Thanks for any ideas,

Phil
