The two year marriage

Have you heard about the proposal about two year marriages? Mexico City has put it forward and other cities around the world have been taking notice so here's my concept: it's a world where the concept of marriage is much changed and the rate of "divorce" is almost nonexistent (at least in name only). People get married on contracts (a year and a day at first because that's very old world) with the option of renewing it every year afterwards with no real penalty or stigma of not renewing it.

The story in my head would take place around two couples during their first year of marriage: one couple would have entered marriage thinking that it's a joke and end up really falling in love, renewing their commitment every year, while the other who were very much in love at the beginning realize that they're not suited to each other after all.
