As somebody who in my second marriage insisted on a prenuptial agreement I can also testify that sometimes it is an act of love to chart the exit strategy before you enter the union in order to make sure that not only you but your partner as well knows that there will be no World War III should hearts and minds for any sad reason change.

They say marriage will change you but it didn't change me. Being in love changed me.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for go live with a car battery.
