Just kidding. I do mourn the moral and cultural breakdown that has reduced "Holy Matrimony" to a business transaction. And yet seriously, I don't blame many of these people.
It's a sad fact that the societal morality has degraded and destroyed the significance of marriage to the point where the social perspective of divorce bears no more stigma than a trip to the ATM. And since many divorces end up being a trip to the ATM for one or the other party, a prenuptual agreement is a wise approach if you have any lingering doubts.
Yet my thoughts would be that if you have any doubts, why bother getting married at all?
Let's face it, unless you AND your mate are strongly ground in morality, more than likely derived from a lifetime of faith, you are fodder for divorce lawyers.
Otherwise marriage is a temporary state that endures until one or the other partner decides they like the Lexus more than their partner.
I'm not being dour, just practical.
On the other hand, there is a place for non conditional marriage in this world. I hope that many who read this are part of such a relationship and pray that the others who hope to enjoy such one day.
Anyway, so what do y'all think? Have at it...
You can have all the faith in the world and still be wrong. I look at it as I do my fire extinguisher, insurance and firearm. Hope never to need it, but I'd rather have it and not need it, then be caught without.
Oh of course not sweetie. Not in a million million years.
100% of the marriages the have a pre-nup will need them.
Say I have a 5 year old daughter and my new wife has 4 grown kids. If I die, I would want to be sure my daughter has her college taken care of. Without a prenup, the assets would get split evenly.
