That is a surprsing comment from you oceans ? "Kill. the contract------- and i could say to those who insist on one-"
you parents had a bad break up or something ?
Can tell us here.
Interesting you ask Sprint.
My parents werent married..not for the first 30 yrs of their union. My mother wanted to be desperately but my dad wouldnt have it. In the meantime they bore 5 children .
In the end my dad relented, he had been in a bad marriage previous you see. My father dies 3 yrs later and my mother 4 yrs after him
They spent 30 together. No legal binding contract..and I beleive this is why they stayed together, It was a turbulant time and the tests certainly were there thats for sure.
My dad was a farmers son from Victoria, his family owned an apple farm/orchard from around Morwell. My dad stood to be quite well off as the eldestt son , but he promised into marrige to another farmers daughters much like an ethnically arranged situation but he couldnt bear it and simply dissappeared after 2 yrs of marriage and no children thankfully.
He then met my mum and fell in love...the rest is history.
I saw from theyre example that if we love someone no ceremony or contract will make nay difference in the end.
But a lot of pple still do and love theyre married life. But i just think too much is made of it ,when stats dont auger well for the happliy ever after myth.Makes us complacent and we tend to take each other for granted..the union grows old quickly and we dont tend to value our partners, its like ' Ive got you now..but could I have done better?" The contract is a passion killer and passion keeps a marraige fresh and strong.
