Prenups/marriage contracts go back to ancient times, nitwit.[/quote]

Perhaps I would have said the same thing in ancient times-I'll have to get in my way back machine to see.  I was actually referring to the words that I spoke when I got married.  If I remember correctly those vows did not include "the part of the richness that I chose to share with you."

Also, hope your day gets better (you might need a smiley emoticon, but I just can't bring myself to do it).[/quote]

Not the PP you're responding to but my vows didn't include anything about riches or money.  I promised to love my husband but that wasn't necessary for our marriage.  The only thing required for a marriage is someone authorized by the state to conduct it and a marraige license.  I see nothing insulting about a prenup or a marriage contract because marriage was first a contractual relationship - and remains so.  My DH and I didn't sign a prenup/contract because we had no assets and current marraige law was sufficient for our needs.  My mother and her second husband had a prenup because they both had assets they didn't want considered marital property.  I see no problem signing a prenup excluding a family business/farm and it has nothing to do with wedding vows.  It has everything to do with what is considered marital property.[/quote]
