God calls man and woman to be united – to live in one, to share freely, to trust and to honor and to love each other in every way. But even the process of creating and executing a pre-nup glorifies a contrary perspective that is destructive and disruptive to marriage.

This concept has come under attack and a lawyer should be consulted to make sure the prenup does not violate this provision.
