    Is going down to the courthouse and getting married again not an option? Not that you should have to do that, just curious.

    Edit: I mean your local courthouse so you don’t have to deal with this anymore.

        The Marriage License is held in St Lucia, a Caribbean island nation. While I would love to go down there to get it in person, I don’t have the budget nor the time to do that right now.

          You can just go to your local courthouse and say “we would like to be married” and they will issue a valid US marriage certificate you can then send on to Uncle Sam. No beed to get St. Lucia involved at all. Legally you’ll be married on that date, but you don’t have to change your anniversary or anything.

            Valid. That’s definitely a potential option. We’d have to find out if there are any legal downsides to rejecting 30+ years of legal marriage. Does a long marriage have any advantages over a new marriage?

      We’ve considered that, but we are already legally married, I’m not even sure you can get legally married a second time, even to you current spouse.

      I suppose we could roll the dice and get a divorce first, and see if either one of us bails before the re-marriage.

      Just kidding, heh-heh…kind of…
