Love note with passionate declarations and poems, the first a date, a walk under the stars, the first kiss The first kiss: it is unforgettable!   - Who among us does not remember romantic beginning of a relationship and do not miss this time? But any romance It has the property if you do not end at all, then at least to withdraw to second place with the start of family life. In this very life together as know, love boat in danger from the life threatening to send it to the bottom. One of the more or less reliable means to maintain normal relationships between spouses and in the process the nerves of each of the family members It is considered to be a marriage contract.

The conventional wisdom is gleaned from American movies and television series that marriage contracts were extended with respect to recently, in the last few decades. However, the desire of the intending spouses podstelit straw in the event of separation Parting: punctuation rules   old as the hills - prenuptial agreements, stipulating inheritance by one spouse or the other material values, known since ancient times. Christian millennium and a half sent marital agreements on the back burner, where they were extracted at the junction of XIX and XX centuries.

The marriage contract is a voluntary, contractual arrangement persons entering into a marriage or have married, which clearly defines property rights and obligations each of the spouses in case of divorce. It should be noted that marriage contracts stipulate solely financial side family life. The view that in the marriage contract can be enabled all sorts of items, is a fallacy. No commitments such as "spouse the wife is obliged to write two lyrical sonnet a week, at least 17 times day to tell her "I love you" and "sun, Angelina Jolie does not hold a candle to you good, "and does not look up at passing women younger than 60 years short skirts and low-cut blouses "or" husband undertakes not invite the couple living space together his mother (which is at the same time mother-in) more than once in six months, do not talk on the desk phone more than 1 hour, on a cell - not more than 2 hours per day, and the cook soup at least twice in a decade "in the marriage contract can not be inserted.

The marriage contract can not be agreed in advance with whom of the parents in case of divorce, children remain. The contract can not carry the restrictions on the rights and freedoms of each of the parties (for example, you can not prohibit spouses engaged in professional activity, restrict freedom of movement, ban to meet with certain people and so on). Also, marriage the agreement will not be valid if it puts one of the spouses extremely unfavorable position - that is, one of the spouses remains entirely without livelihood, and the other takes itself all the property.

While the scope of the agreement may include only property relations, in some cases it is possible to link the financial component to the relationship between spouses. For example, the contract may be arranged a refund in the event of proven fact conjugal infidelity Treason: Fall or loyalty to yourself? . Or conjugal relationship can be linked to money matters - so, Second-half years and his wife Sylvester Stallone second-rate actress Brigitte Nielsen stipulated in the marriage contract of financial reward that her husband had to pay for every fact of intimacy. And it paid Rambo is a nice little dress!

Prenuptial agreements are a means of breaking legislation under which a divorce divided equally between Only spouses of property acquired by them during marriage, property is owned by each spouse to create a family, remains in his traditional owners. A prenuptial agreements can create a situation where one or other property belonging to one spouse, became common property. And variants of this property can be several: together (when the thing in divorce remains with those of the couple who had it really used), equity (negotiated share of property reserved for the husband and wife), separate. However, in most cases, marriage contracts cover it is property acquired during the existence of marriage. The reasons for the conclusion arrangements are reduced to two principal either one of the spouses, who "Getter" wants to protect its financial interests and to secure for themselves most of the money earned ("the protection of the rich") or one of the parties (usually female) seeks to provide a stable position, and their children and It stipulates with the special conditions of the distribution of joint property ("Protection of the poor").

The controversy over the fact whether or not to prenuptial agreements are not As to the legal side of the issue. The marriage contract is a contract, like any other. The cause of friction between supporters and opponents of the treaty It lies in the emotional plane. On the one hand, the allegedly rational the validity of the contract, which greatly facilitates and simplifies divorce proceedings, as initially clear who is entitled to it count. No one can predict what will life as will put family life, what will become great in the first beginning a relationship. So notorious desire to secure and protect their interests rightly.

On the other hand, marriage contracts, if not completely deny marriage romantic aura, that makes it much less bright. In fact, if the family Life begins with the conclusion of the contract covering the terms of separation, the willy nilly thought creeps in that the possibility of divorce has allowed bride or groom, or even both. Or start mutual accusations in disbelief, which is also not good for a healthy atmosphere inside the main unit of society. And financial considerations can not be safe here considered paramount - because without a contract in divorce each He will remain with the fact that he had before the wedding, that is, with his.

Whatever it was, to contract or not a private matter each pair. In this case, it all depends on the views of those who are betrothed followed in the field of family relations. If you believe that the contract will not give they have nothing positive, and will bring only negative, not a contract for. Unless believe that a clear preliminary agreement that in the event that someone itself will take only helps to avoid the hassle and helps everyone peace, conclude this agreement. In any case, the marriage contract, as well as marriage itself, it's strictly voluntary.
