Dennis Rainey: People are coming up with some pretty interesting and creative agreements.
Guest: BL: We recently asked an attorney about some of the strangest contracts he'd seen people sign.
Pre - marital, or what we call ante nuptial contracts. Where people will negotiate how you're going to apportion the work for the dry cleaning and cooking and they kind of micro - manage the relationship.

Dennis Rainey: Well, whether you call it a pre - marital or a prenuptial agreement, I think it is a bad idea. Marriage is a man and a woman committed to one another for a lifetime.
I know of a couple that signed a prenuptial agreement. Initially it seemed like a good idea. Then they realized that if their love was going to grow, it needed the security and trust that comes only with an unconditional commitment. So they tore up their prenuptial agreement.
One final thought. Marriage is a sacred covenant between a man, a woman and God for a lifetime. Let me encourage you to fulfill your vows. Do what you promised. And if you signed a prenuptial agreement, maybe you ought to tear it up.

I really love listening to Dennis Rainey. And I agree with him in most areas. Even here, except that not all prenuptial agreements are bad. In the right hands they can be used to protect a marriage. (Read on earlier posts.) So I say, do guns kill? No in the hands of the law abiding they can protect life. It depends on the heart.
