If you were given the chance to write your marriage contract.....?

what would you put in your marriage contract? Conditions, pre-nups, expiry dates, terms of engagement, terms of division of property and assets, etc etc? The marriage contract is the only contract that does not have any paragraphs for terms and conditions, expectations from both parties and annexes and stuff like any normal contract. What would you include in it given the chance?

    In a marriage contract, to always have a chance to talk if anything arises if we cannot come with a decision on the matter bring in a meditator for 1 year.

    Engagement will expire after one year of the verbal question.

    (if it is not done by the year is up - go your seperate ways.)

    Understand how the household will run and who will have specific duties, when children are involved - both parents take the time with the children for 18 years. Yes, when the child is an adult.

    When a decision is not met, not going to bed angry - go in another room to scream and holler to you get all of it out. Actually spend time talking outside of the bedside to resolve the matter. Sexually, if things to not work, express what you want regardless what it is - date until intimacy is met - no expiration date. It might be fun.

    If you are caught cheating, if any children or property, the cheated spouse will have to pay the price - 80% - Pay the expenses of child/spousal support.

    The cheated spouse is allow to have his/her property for sell. The money is with the non-cheated spouse.

    hmmm, offhand I'd say;

    1. penalty for adultry; injured party gets 100% of everything, plus 30% of cheaters income and assets aquired for 10 years

    2. In event of mutual divorce, everything is 50-50, with no income sharing post separation.

    3. whoever asks for divorce gives up 10% of asset value

    4. engagement should not exceed one calender year

    5. marriage has no expiration date(s), but divorce does not require any further court order than a mere filing of this contract

    6. If either party spends more than 50% more than the other, it is the responsibility of that spender to replenish those funds

    7. in the event of separation, each party gets only what they brought into the marriage, the rest to be divided equally

    that's a decent start

    Mine would simply state that we were stuck. No divorcing. That way, whatever may come our way... we're forced to deal with it... the divorce rate is too high these days anyways.
