Here is where the romantic view of marriage falls apart as far as I am concerned; the law does not view marriage as a romantic partnership.

Here’s an excerpt from a government booklet on family law in Ontario:

When you get married, the law treats your marriage as an equal economic partnership.


So, although you marry for love, if you divorce it will be treated as nothing more than the dissolution of an economic partnership.

It makes nothing but sense to me to examine how the government will chose to divide things up if ones relationship failed. If we, as a couple, have a different outlook on how we want our life to work, it only makes sense to over-ride the government’s view with a pre-nup or co-hab agreement.

Good point. Also anyone who's asked to sign a pre-nup should have their own lawyer look it over. I also don't think that it is unreasonable to ask for changes. Marriage is a two person journey, so if you're going to set rules and conditions on it before it even starts, both people need a say.

You do need to have 2 lawyers otherwise it could be contested... having different points of view is always good.

Question;

If divorce rates are over 50% why bother getting married to begin with?


IMO, marriage is part of an antiquated religion... That passed its' prime over 2000 years ago.

Why date at all if it might not work out?
It's not much of a life if we are too focused on possible endings that we never make a beginning.

Being realistic that one of the possibilities is it might not work out is different IMO, and a pre-nup or co-hab goes a long way to cushioning the downside.

Good.

I don't see what the issue is. What, worse comes to worst and you don't ever have to use it? Oh boy, that's terrible.
