The Pre-Nup” - Let’s Talk about Prenuptial Agreements

As you are in the second phase of life, you never thought you would fall in love. But, as life brings sweet surprises you have finally found Mr. Wonderful. Because of career choices and other priorities and circumstances, you are getting married now, later in life.

To the bride and groom, marriage is a loving contract between two people who want to spend the rest of their lives together, but in the eyes of the law, marriage is a contract between two people which is not about love but about a variety of financial rights and obligations. You should not look at a prenuptial agreement as a lack of faith in the relationship but as protection against unforeseen circumstances.


Think of it as an “insurance policy” covering the legal issues of your marriage contract that you get to write yourself. If it is difficult to talk about your loving, committed relationship as if it were a business arrangement, consulting with a legal, professional advisor will make it easier.

An African Affair

Recently I flew to Johannesburg then traveled about 6 hour north to the Inyati Game Reserve…just near Kruger Park. During my three day stay I did a renewal of vows for an American couple celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in the middle of the game reserve over a morning tea.

I flew to Madagascar and traveled 3 hours south to the mission fields. As soon as I arrived I was asked if I would like to do a civil ceremony (their legal work is done at the Bureau … as they call it … several weeks ahead of the wedding day). Unfortuately the bride could not afford a bridal gown as they were saving up for something else. …She still looked lovely.
