I really can't see this getting a lot of takers, but I admire that they're willing to give it a go. It takes a whole lot of sense to understand things may not always work out, and having a marriage license that you have to actively work towards keeping current instead of one where you have to actively work towards getting it dissolved honestly seems to me the far more rational course of action.
Personally, I'd like to see it where the only type of marriage license that exists is one you have to renew annually. People should be willing to put at least as much effort into their marriage as they are towards keeping their car tagged.

While I personally don't understand the dissolution of the marriage aspect, really if you cant at least put this much effort into getting married, you shouldn't be getting married.

Getting married shouldn't be like subscribing to a magazine. I will admit to being entirely ignorant as to how marriage works in Mexico, but this policy doesn't seem to make sure anybody is working harder at their marriage, it only makes it easier to file for divorce: essentially the government will do this for you instead of you filling out the paperwork yourself. I do not understand how a marriage can be dissolved without having to go through the legal formalities of splitting up marital assets, determining child custody arrangements, child support, etc. Even if both parties are fully in agreement on every single aspect, it still needs to be written down and formalized legally in case any disagreements occur later.
I think the French system is preferable: there are three kinds of unions: union libre, pacte civil de solidarité (PACS), and mariage. Each incrementally provides more benefits and stronger legal ties, and each incrementally creates more legal responsibilities between the two parties (making it much easier to dissolve lesser unions if things don't work out). If you're not ready for marriage, you can get a UL or a PACS instead (in fact, PACS are more popular in France than marriage!).
