Actually I think the problem is that too many people don't openly discuss the important issues, like finance (which includes assests and IP's) thouroughly, openly and honestly enough, before they make the decision to get hitched. The problems arise when individual expectations about thing are not met and we all have different expectations because we all come with difference life experiences.
As I have said before, I think a pre-nup can be a good thing for some people. It forces them to examine some issues they may never have considered before.
I just this your pessimistic veiw of relationships is the wrong reason for a pre-nup and a better reason not to get married in the first place.
If you always expect the worst, you will always get the worst. If you think divorce is an option before you even get married (for me it is not - it is against all my personal beliefs and my religion) then your are not really giving things the best chance. You are undermining your effort at a marriage before you even begin, as you have already mentally allowed yourself an 'out' if things don't go the way you want them to.
Marriage is not always easy. It is rewarding, fulfilling, comforting and alot of other good things. But there are going to be times when (for whatever reason) you can no longer stand the person you are married to and you wonder what on earth you are doing together. Hopefully these times don't happen too often
but the thing about marriage is that no matter how you may feel like you need a 'break' you don't get one. Rather you are 'forced' to work out whatever issues you have and improve your relationship, because there is no other 'out'. Marriage is (or should be) a commitment for life. Of course you aren't going to get along all of the time, you are living out of each others pockets day after day after day - but that doesn't mean you should throw in the towel and give up.
well that's todays sermon
