Re: Before I marry
I think the pre-nup is an absolute requirement these days. While Mr 5.0 views the pre-nup as proof either you are not ready to make the commitment or a parachute in case you decide to bail out, I view it as protection in case the other person isn't truly ready. I feel most divorces are the fault of both parties, any relationship is only as strong as the weakest link. If your "wife" decides she has found a man that is more attractive or more intoxicating after you're married and decides she'd rather take a chance at finding a new Mr. Right, it's nearly impossible from stopping her.
Maybe I'm just a bit cynical when it comes to marriage as I consider it a joke in America today, but I can cite divorce statistics that say marriages in this country are treated as disposable.
Even if you're committed, the other party may not be, and in fact, the odds are they aren't. Tough to swallow, and depressing as it is, I feel people have a duty to protect themselves and their livelyhood these days.
No offense Dark, but marrying somebody and not telling them that you will never be able to produce a child is horrifying. Hopefully, not sharing that information with his wife will get the pre-nup voided should they decide to part ways. Personally, failure to disclose that kind of information is grounds for divorce on it's own, IMHO.
