Good post, but all relationships have elements of power play. Some more, some less. Writing up a prenup is a safety valve and it doesn't mean it will lead to a loss of trust, it means a partner has to think twice before acting irresponsibly.
True, about the power play part.
I read something in this book about money. I forgot the exact wording, but the author had advised against this. He gave his reasonings. What I wonder is this just a reflection of today's society and today's marriages? Today's people are less than trustworthy, came from less than stellar marriages/households. And the view that marriage is just a contract. That's it. Since, there is the popular belief that marriage is not a convenant between God, man, and woman, (because as we all know, God doesn't exist, right?) it is not taken seriously by one or both parties. Also, the view of "we build and grow together" is looked as out-moded, out dated, old fashioned.
Bottom line, Marriage hasn't changed, the people have. Marriage has been the same, the quality of people has gone down.
