Protection

For those of you reading my blog you might of noticed my last post was more emotional than material. Not the normal subject matter but I thought I might keep the trend a little longer.
Today's subject is protection, can we protect ourselves from the worst?
Can you protect yourself from getting in an accident? or getting caught in a storm? or an unexpected bill?

Well, the answer is no, and I think most people realise this, however it doesn't stop people from trying to protect what they can.
You cant wrap yourself up with bubble wrap as much as some would like to, and getting married certainly isn't a guarantee to happiness.
But that doesn't stop people form trying, the Pre-Nup.
If you cant protect your heart, try and protect your money!!!
Because even though your heart is broken, if your marriage is over at least your bank account is still full!!
But is there another side to the contract that normally takes a little of the spark out of the decision to get engaged?
I think there are two sides to this particular contract....

1. Lack of trust between the couple, and the assumption the other could leave and take them for all there bank account holds I.E Gold digger....2. The result of a need to prove that the marriage is nothing to do with the material value they could obtain if the worst should happen I.E Love....


I like to think of the latter, proof that they don't care that if the marriage dissolves they wont earn anything out of that, and they both leave with what they came in with.
Of course the other side isn't so pretty and makes me wander if they should get married at all? Why would they if they trust so little of each other and worry more about their money than themselves?
This is a naive way to look at a complicated matter, but i like thinking there is a good side to everything even if that makes me naive.

I don't think any happy ending started with "will you marry me, if so sign this contract to prove you aren't after my money"

But did a happy ending perhaps start with "yes, I will marry you, and I would like to sign this to show you its you that I want, not your money"

We can live in hope that each marriage ends happily ever after, gold digger or not!!!
