Let's say my husband and I agree on something, when we're getting married. We both sign the contract. After marriage, he changes his mind on something. So I show him the contract he's signed? What next? He's gonna change his mind simply 'cause he had agreed to it before?


you're right, it's pointless. People just do it to assert independence in a marriage when they're not sure they're going to get it in the first place.

Eh, what happened to talking to the other person. This is why we have so many stupid laws in England, because the time of respecting another persons social and personal space and verbal requests has all flown out of the window so laws need to enforce it instead. It's not the same if you ask me. I wouldn't have a contract, i don't like the idea of it and i wouldn't marry anyone i didn't trust. If i was not happy, i would leave him. I'm not one to try to enforce something on someone anyway. They might have changed, circumstances might have changed. I'd just walk away, i'm good at that and wealth doesn't really mean anything in a world where you just live an average of 50-60 years, if that at all.
