I was watching Glenn Beck one day and he was saying how he met his
second wife. He said that he initially wanted a prenuptial do to a bad
break up in his first marriage, but his now current wife would not have it.
She said to him: why would I put a contingency plan on a relationship
that is supposed to last forever (I am paraphrasing here). So the
question is why have a prenuptial?
Answering the question: Marriages are supposed to last forever.
It is supposed to be an everlasting union between two consenting adults
so that they can start a life together and share a bond of love.
However, a prenuptial challenges that notion. It says that the relationship
may end, or that an end is already decided, and thus the love in the marriage
is fleeting at best. I can understand why some people would want a
prenuptial, as they fear the marriages failure, or they feel the feeling of the
other are not entirely genuine, but they love them so much they are at least
willing to spend whatever amount of time belonging to that individual.
But, if you have such a strong doubt that you would need a prenuptial,
then why are you risking wasting your life on a failed relationship when you
can find true happiness with someone else. Why torture yourself with
doubts. Also, why not work out problems with your spouse as they arrive
so that you never need a prenuptial like a real couple. Why resort to a
divorce the moment you reach an impasse. There are some stark contrasts here,
which while easy to understand, genuinely show that love is typically blind, or
at the very least is easily not very understood.
Conclusion: My point is, be careful with what
messages you are sending to your spouse when you ask for a prenuptial.
Obviously it is not a very pleasant one as your doubts are showing up on
your sleeve. Marriages are supposed to last forever, so make sure you
think hard before asking for a prenuptial.
