Well marriages were created back when people lived 20-30 years on average, so in practice they didn't last much longer than 10 years.
Perhaps humans aren't biologically set up to have long marriages. But perhaps they are. I don't know.
I think that the "solution" to divorce would be to make it harder for people to get married. At least in the U.S., I know too many people who jump in and get married after six months or so of dating. It's no wonder that so many people get divorced; I can't imagine that these impulse marriages last very long.
Besides, I think that this law is worthless. If people love each other, then they're going to stay married. If they don't, then they'll get divorced. The seven year "expiration" seems pointlessI'm about to get aroused from watching the pokemon and that's awesome. - Pekka

I'm not sure it would accomplish the stated goals. I worry it might actually have the opposite effect."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow
