It is a good lesson here, but I can help wonder if the lesson here

is that more couples should use prenups prior to walking down the aisle. If more couples start to use prenups, then does that take away from the "spirit" of getting married and turn it more into a business relationship? I have heard from various people over the years say that marriage has always been a form of a business contract between 2 people (or 2 families) in an effort to benefit politically, socially, or economically in some way. And that "love" was a way (or tool) to mask the "business side of things." I am not suggesting that 2 people don't get married for love or that they don't love each other the same if they sign a prenup. I guess I have always wondered over the years out of all the marriages in the world (and throughout time) what percentage of them were a result of 2 people being 100% in love with each and for no other secondary motives?
