Marriage License Renewal?

So, I just got my real estate license. And I am learning that in order to keep it, there are several requirements that must be met. I must take ongoing continuing education courses. I must take yearly trainings in ethics and legal updates.  The case was also somewhat similar when I got my teaching certificate and my certification to be a youth development trainer...

So it got me to thinking, what if there were certain requirements that couples must meet in order to get and keep their marriage license?  With all of my licenses, including my driver's license, I had to first study and take a test.  After that, if I did not meet whatever obligations were set forth, my license or certificate would expire. 

How awesome would it be if couples HAD to study what it takes to be successfully married first, then they had to take a test, and THEN once they became husband and wife they had to take ongoing classes, workshops and seminars to make sure that they stayed strong in their union for years to come? Would 50% (or whatever the current statistic is) of all marriages still end in divorce?  Think about it...
