None of what you said practically addresses the epidemic of men getting financially raped, and his kids stolen from him, by women using the courts that heavily favor women. They've virtually codified female privilege into their laws and rulings.

I understand where you are coming from, but if divorce were to be outright outlawed, I do not see how could this still happen.

Also, women in careers having financial freedom is a big incentive for them to just divorce their husbands, and destroy their families. That is another thing that should change, in my opinion. Women could not get away with this when they depended financially upon their male relatives.

I agree with everything you said, but none of that is going to happen considering these latter days are getting worse. Iniquity will grow. Men need a prenup to protect themselves in this current reality.

I'm not keeping up with all of the 4-5 threads on this topic, so pardon if this has already been mentioned...

I think a legal docuмent pertaining to a marriage (prenup) written up by a priest with no particular couple in mind to be used as wished by any couple would be a NEUTRAL - GOOD idea.

I think a particular couple attempting to draw up such an agreement prior to their own marriage would be a BAD idea.

Basically, a docuмent created by the Church to be used universally, but not required, would aid a couple in committing to the permanence of their marriage, but attempting to draw up such an agreement yourselves just prior to marriage would have a negative effect on the novice relationship.

That is a good point.  It could cause undue stress on the relationship.  But so could any number of topics, if they are emotionally charged.  

A lawyer should write it up and a priest should approve it.  The docuмent need not be complicated or long.

Anything less than long and complicated would not do the complexities of the many possible situations any justice unless you can simply turn authority of the situation over to an entity of the Church. (But, we all know impossible that would be in today's Church situation.)
