Question #1 - Shouldn't you use a different term to refer to the promises given in vows since "prenup" generally refers to a financial agreement?

Question #2 - Elaborate on the difference between #2 & #3. I'm sure if I read all of that other thread, it would be more clear, but I haven't read it all, so I don't see a huge difference.

Good questions MD:

1.  I defined Prenup as "Catholic", meaning divorce is not an option. They stay together in marriage and for example, if one spouse becomes incompetent, they would resort to other legal remedies outside of dissolving the marriage.

2. #2 and #3 are similar, but with #3 implying acceptance of all the laws of state, to be wielded against the marriage and family.

Why not an option for being against both? Because I am.

That does not even make sense. That is a normal Catholic marriage without a prenup.

While it is typical for polls to be framed in a way to produce the desired result, one does not often see such blatant manipulation as the "definitions" provided with this poll.

A prenuptial agreement is usually an agreement on what the couple will do in case of divorce.  A marriage license is issued by the state whether or not there is masonic influence on the state.

Incredulous has tried to " reset the discussion" so that everyone will agree with his position.
Look, "J", why don't you run your poll... and I'll run mine. 

And for that matter, I would love to see your voting options. :ready-to-eat:

Are you taking the position that Catholics adhere to their marriage vow "till death do us part"?
I disagree.
"Normal" Catholic marriages end up in the divorce courts with significant financial settlements.
