Before I marry

I agree 100%. It's amazes me how many people are worried about their "stuff" when splitting up. You can always work hard to earn money and replace the "stuff" that is taken away. A marriage is a life-long committment to a person you can't see yourself living without. It's a big decision....one you should be absolutely certain of before making the choice to get married. If it were me -that was married- and the marriage didn't work out (for whatever reason), I would be more concerned with WHY it didn't work out rather than "who's getting what stuff". To be that materialistic and shallow after a life-long bond has been shattered is rediculous IMO.

I do not see it as being shallow. I guess maybe my vision of society has been skewed by my career. Regardless, until I feel the courts start to even the field a little bit when it comes to belongings, who pays the bills, etc....I think people would be foolish not to atleast consider it.
