Finally a response to "Prenuptial Agreement"

It’s taken months for me to write again, and I must apologize to myself for not finding time to do something that makes me smile.

So once again I haven’t followed through with my blogging plan... but oh well... its not like you are reading them anyway. lol
I am so happy I browsed your page and read your “Prenuptial Agreement” posting again, it helped me see you a bit differently, just a tad.


I have always been against prenuptial agreements but I understand that certain situations (marry a celebrity) may call for one. I believe in marriage yet I am not sure that I’ll ever be married. 
Any who... marriage is supposed to be a holy union approved by God. 
 The Latin root uni- means one, so we can automatically assume that union should be defined somewhere along the lines of togetherness kind of like when people say we are “on one accord.” Holy, will be defined as sacred just to sum it up and now approval can be defined as an agreement, sanction, but I’ll use consent for the sake of this response. Now stay with me because I am definitely going somewhere. If you find a woman that you absolutely cannot live without, you ponder on it and ask her father for her hand( I like tradition lol) and then ask her to be your wife and she says yes, then why would you ever leave? Why would you cut ties with someone you cannot live without? How could something so perfect fall apart? If marriage is when a man and a woman come together and enter a sacred agreement with the consent of God, then how could it fail? Marriage doesn’t fail; couples just aren’t willing to win. The problem with Americans now is that they allow the words divorce to enter their minds and their conversations with their spouse... you are what you think, so if you think divorce then you will more than likely divorce not because your marriage was a failure but because you failed your marriage. To me signing a prenup is like saying we might divorce... remember what I just said about divorce? lol 
If I met and married Drake and he asked me to sign a prenup I would have no issue with that because when I met him he had so much and if I truly love him then a prenup would  not matter because I plan to stay married forever. However if I have known you since the sixth grade, we rode a bus together, we met up later on in life and we are both trying to make it in the professional world then I would have a major issue should my fiancé approach me with one. Read my first paragraph that applies here.
On the other hand we share some common stances I believe in one joint and two separate accounts to an extent but I agree. Actually that is about it. lol I believe that it’s the man’s responsibility to take care of the basic needs of his family I.E. food, clothing, shelter, car, health insurance etc That is his job, point blank period and any man unwilling to do his job is not a man, but a child in a man’s body. On the flip side of that, the woman is supposed to take care of the home I.E. cook, clean, nurture, organize etc. We don’t live in the 50’s so I expect for both the man and woman to help each other with their responsibilities after all marriage is a union. The lines of what is expected from whom should (and I am using should loosely) naturally be drawn from an early age but for you loser men and women out there I just thought I would teach you something... go take care of your responsibilities. Okay. Where was I going with this? Oh yeah! I would love for my marriage to work something like that... lol Husband works and takes care of family’s needs. Wife(me) works and takes care of family’s wants. I don’t believe in all of that we split the mortgage, electricity, water, cable, car insurance  50/50 crap!!! That is a man’s job. He takes care of home. I take care of wants like vacations and extra clothes... for the most part my check should be banked every month... that is how you save money for your future...TOGETHER lol 
Well I have kinda went on a tangent but at the same time I think I have sparked something that I would love to have discussed. Do you believe in gender roles? I do.
