Prenuptial contract. To me, that was a farce from the beginning. When we marry, our contract is a vow before God. The contract is a partnership between two people, the contract is the license of marriage when it is performed.
Ah, let's see.... prenuptial is indicative that there will be a divorce at some point, a dissolving of the marriage, and one or both of the parties wish to retain what they have before the marriage or there is a contracted agreement of what each will receive should the marriage 'fail'. In business, that would be ideal. But, in marriage, that is the beginning of it not being a true marriage. When we vow to marry, we make a promise to be with a partner, the other part of our soul, for eternity. While it is true that some do break down horribly, it is not what marriage is intended for. We should instead be rethinking about taking that step if we must enter into it with a second contract, dishonoring the first. It would benefit us more to back off the commitment than to be incomplete in our commitment. If the marriage is made like a business deal, it is not made faithfully and in good will.... the foundation then becomes financial rather than what the meaning is meant for. Marriage is for a foundation of family; not wealth, happiness, health, or sexual gratification... solely. If you are not marrying to be 'ONE' ... then don't marry. It would be best to wait or not marry at all. This would eliminate the need for a prenuptial, which should not even be a pre-requisite for the marriage in the first place.
Now, I have just heard a new twist... DIVORCE INSURANCE! Come on! Will man of this world ever stop thinking of ways to milk our fellow men and women? I think not.
If we are splitting the marriage apart before we even enter into it, is it not surely bound to fail? Is it not just another lie we are living in?
How do you feel about this...? I know I am certainly appalled at the shallowness of such an important part of ones life.
