Alright, so a guy friend and I were discussing marriages the other day and got to the subject of pre-nups. We had just seen one of the Kardashian sisters get married and the couple never got around to putting together a pre-nup so they were gonna get a “post-nup.”

Well, here is my opinion about this: There’s nothing wrong with pre-nups. I just believe that it has to be pretty reasonable. My friend seemed to think that if a couple wants to get a pre-nup, they might as well go all out and put everything in it…what happens if one of the spouses decides to cheat; what happens by the end of the 5th year; acceptable anniversary gifts and so much more.

Well, I’m a firm believer in talking about things with your spouse but c’mon! Let’s keep the romance and spontaneity alive. If you put everything in writing before getting married, then what do you have to look forward to?

 

I think the most important things like the kids (if any) and maybe the house and money in the savings account…things like these can be put in there just so if things get messy (as it usually tends to become in divorces), at least the most important thing like the care of the children is already ironed out…am I right?

 

Correct me if I’m wrong here…but would you really want to tell your man EVERYTHING that is acceptable in the marriage before even getting into it? “You do the dishes every other week; family vacations every Summer; your 5th wedding anniversary gift…and much more. I think some of us want everything spelt out so we have less work to do in the marriage!
