Featured prenuptial agreement

Making two - one does not have the same meaning that you intend it to be. I don't intend to go into that discussion on this thread.

In Christ's day and up until the 20th century, the women had very few legal rights and assets. What they held was considered their husbands after marriage.

I agree with 12strings that older couples who have had established extended families do perhaps prenup agreements if no more than to keep care over the widow and away from selfish children. If no prenup at least a will that is up to date.

I like that bumper sticker that claims, "I'm spending my children's inheritance."

 

I would say this wraps it up pretty well:

And I also can appreciate what 12strings says here:

This seems reasonable as well, for the reason I bolded:

I would add this: My wife and I have no pre-nup and we discussed it previously: In our marriage vows, we intentionally chose these old - school Anglican vows: "with this ring, I thee wed; with my body, I thee worship; and all my worldly goods, I thee endow"
We chose these older Anglican vows as part of our ceremony because we loved the Theological signifigance of them, and they expressed something about this very topic...financially, all that we owned now belonged unreservedly to the other...
I also added to my personal vows: along with the "love" "honor" "forsaken all others" part "to provide" as we felt that the Scriptures teach that a man is responsible to "provide for his own" and we sort of felt that that ought to be part of the promise any husband should make to his wife in their vows.
