While I think it is a good idea to discuss the terms of marriage before marriage begins (I did with my wife), I'm not sure it's well-suited for the basis of a law. As a basic libartarian, I'm normally against any new laws. But in this case, the problem is that society marries people, and society divorces people, and society pays the price of divorce and broken families. In a way it's a societal public health issue. If we saw the amount of turmoil in an animal population that we see in the divorce statistics we would declare an endangered species and throw gobs of money at the problem. Just because it's people doesn't mean we should take it any less seriously. Frankly, I think we should make it a LOT harder to get married than we do.
