I understand that people want to trust their spouse. But think about it. Who that HAS been divorced will say they did not trust their ex husband/wife when they got married? In a christian marriage it's a little different because you are not supposed to get a divorce except for under certain circumstances such as abuse and adultery. Which is understandable. But even in Christian marriages, the wife or the husband could be emotionally unstable and abusive, or a cheater. In fact there are many people who pretend to be chrisitian for personal reasons, such as they will make more friends, they could be in it for the same reason the pharisees were in it, to gain the praise and approval of others in the christian faith. In fact there are many PREACHERS that are only preaching for the money fame and power that comes along with preaching and they know all too well that they aren't REALLY A CHRISTIAN. In fact some of these same preachers probably view the bible as a fairy tale book and a way to get money, praise, and power. Now, I'm not saying this because I'm one of those conspiracy theorist's that like to accuse every preacher on TV of being a fraud. I'm saying this because I've seen this happen in REAL LIFE. Not on television. Some of these preachers are rotten on the inside, while promoting a facade or righteousness and morality on the outside to trick people. And I would assume that there are people in the church that aren't preachers that do the same thing. About 95 percent of the church if I could take a wild guess cannot tell the difference between the genuine sincere elect, and the pretenders.
Why do I say this? Well, some people are good pretenders. And most people do not have the experience and discernment to seperate the real from the jive. Even many real christains have cheated on their wife or husband. I've seen that too. And even the genuine christians can change. Someone can backslide or even worse they can stop having faith in Jesus down the line. Especially if they did not have a strong foundation in their faith in Jesus to begin with. Seen that too. With people on CC and with my own father.
Now I'm not saying this to discourage anyone. All I'm saying is that a Pre-Nups protect people in situations such as these. And even if a person is a christian that is not necessarily a measure of their LOYALTY. Unforthtuantely I believe there are some non-believers that have more loyalty than many people who profess to be born again christians. This may be a harsh reality for some of you, something we don't like to think about. But reality is not always pretty.
My personal opinion. Is before you marry a person try to find out just how loyal they are. Look at how they interact with other people. Etc etc.
My point is we are all human and only God knows everyone's hearts and minds. We can only judge based on what we see and perceive based on our own experiences and wisdom. We can't know everything. And it does not mean we are foolish it just means we are mere humans and we can't know everything.
Also, some people develop feelings for a person, and they ignore the red flags they see in that person because of that.
So me personally I would get a pre-nup whether I trusted my spouse or not. Simply for the fact that there is NO REASON NOT TO unless you are scared to death of your wife. It's like life insurance. Your highly doubt your going to die, but you get it anyway just to be on the safe side. And if you are scared to death of your wife I suggest weight lifting and martial arts to protect yourself. hee hee jk.
