Bismihi ta'ala

Assuming you are 18+, and if you do a mut'ah contract with a duration of 99 years, it would mean you've lived over 120 years, and if both of you are still verbal and cognizant, once the duration of contract finishes, it you become non-mahram to each other again.

You will need to do another mut'ah contract should you wish to stay together, or nullify it, if still within duration. 

The way you nullify it is for male to say to the female "I free you for the remaining period". 

And Allah knows best

The fact of the Twelve Imams after the Prophet of Islam is an order from Allah (SWT). No one has right to say or suggest on any matter which has been decreed by Allah (SWT). Allah Knows every thing including all the future, so, there is no point in putting such questions from us. Allah Knows everything and He is The Absolute Wise, All Knowung, Most Merciful.

Bismillah,

Du'a is a very powerful tool whereby a servant implores and supplicates to Allah swt who is our Master.  

In order to increase one's life span it has been narrated by the pristine household of the Ahlulbayt a.s. to give charity to the poorpoor and those who are living in impoverished conditions.  This noble act and kind gesture is highly recommendrecommended in Islam apart from reciting some particupar Du'as as prescribed by the blessed prophet saw.
