My love contract with my wife includes provisions that she won’t put on more than ten pounds and I’ll get one free pass per year to use on a lady of my choosing.

The end of the article is the best. Its not a bad idea to take advice from someone who's been married for 33 years.....

 

Kathie and Paul Atkins, who have been married for 33 years, said they don’t feel comfortable inking their intimacy.

“I personally wouldn’t want to be held to a piece of paper to make him want to be with me,” said Kathie.

Paul said, “I think if you feel the need to draw up a contract it’s because you haven’t taken the time to earn the other person’s trust.”

I suppose this is a logical refuge for those in intimate relationships which are untethered from traditional moral strictures (i.e., God’s moral laws and His plan for marriage and family).

Lets see...

A man marries a petite long-haired beauty who proceeds to gain 60 pounds and gets her hair cut short (because all her girl-friends tell her “it’s so cute!”), so that he wonders when he married a short fat guy...

...then she bitches and bitches until she divorces him, takes the kids and all his money, and if he is lucky she DOES NOT have him arrested for child abuse (to make a better case for herself in divorce court)...

...And people wonder why marriage is down? And people resort to ‘contracts’?

(Girls- especially all you smart beautiful Freeper girls) I know men do the same thing- leaving you wondering when you married a drunk fat stupid slob)

I thought the old fashioned marriage vows covered everything?

This sounds like a feminist trick bag. After you get married then you have to negotiate for each others time and affection. If that's the case why get married?
Better yet, just get a hooker.

...but they may have no legal standing.

Until the first lawsuit.

...actually, why can’t they just have this as their “marriage” and leave us the hell alone?

So-called “love contracts” between couples, or written agreements that detail specific promises partners make to each other in a relationship, are growing in popularity, but they may have no legal standing.

Duh! "Love Contracts"??? A contract is a legal concept, usually drawn up by a lawyer. It is binding. So, if you fall out of love, does that negate your contract?

Sometimes I just hate the culture that I live in. Here is something that drives me nuts which is a bit off-topic; but, am I the only one, who when listening to people who have "written their own vows", end up thinking that they sound like something a couple of 15 year olds would write?

When I read this I have to wonder what did they see when they looked at their parents, grandparents or just the people around them. Did they not see any changes in these people and how they got through it in any positive ways at all? I think these types who want a contract for every action that you can imagine have to be extremely selfish and only thinking of themselves. And I got a laugh from reading it.

Future marriages will be conducted in Florist Shops, Godiva Chocolates, or Victoria’s Secret, with any employee functioning as pro-tem Justice of the Peace.
Whatever other customers are present will be given the option
of participating as witnesses to “the Love Contract”.

They are so taken with their sagacity in looking ahead that they are incapable of realizing that they are as blind as bats and ignorant too.

“A contract”. Golly.

In a more civilized time, before women took over, prostitution was legal. And when women naturally loose interest in sex( a concept hard for me to believe ) at an age around 43 years 3 months and 22 days, men could get serviced in a reasonable manner, buy a jewelry for his wife twice a year and everyone was happy. Now nobody is happy.

"I'll use yours if you use mine" contracts? And that is called a Love Contract?!

When the “pre-nuptial agreement” became a thing of normal everyday society, and not caged within that weird placed called Hollywood, I know we lost it.

Time spent together as a contract item??????

Another sign of American idiocracy, and worthy of that favorite Shakespeare line about ‘whom shall be considered ammunition fodder, first’.
