I'm basically advocating for a "prenuptual contract" culture, I guess, rather than reliance on family law. Happier marriages often naturally settle into this sort of thing, over time, but making it tradition is more effective across the population.
Away from lavish weddings, McMansions, and megadiamonds, toward sensible financial planning and addressing common concerns in advance, with the help of advisors and templates.
People think this is tawdry, since we're supposed to be romantic and trusting, but I see it as prudent and sensible. And a solid financial foundation gives romance more room to bloom.
Yes! Already living in that world ✅.
We need to stop looking to the state for everything.
The lavishness used to proof of that solid foundation.
used to be that to join families both would have to show proof of worth. hence dowries separate properties etc.
This is often still the case, if the families are well-established and attentive.
Yah ... Just not enough good looking families still have those values in tact. Kek
I know. I had a lavish wedding in a castle with a designer gown, and etc. But we didn't pay for that! 😱 That would have bankrupted us.
Only thing the groom paid for were the rings and the honeymoon. Everything else was our parents.
It's not proof of a solid foundation, if you go broke paying for it. The foundation is that your parents are wealthy (or the groom is).
You don't spend dowry money on a party. 🤦♀️
How about no human marriage and corporations get into marriage like their life depends on it?
