She was slim and he liked her that way. So he called a lawyer. The result was a contract.According to the document, the fresh-faced bride agreed to pay a fine for each pound she gained in weight, the money refundable upon its loss. The paper signed, and the wedding went on. This is a prenuptial agreement—one more indication of the strange pass of marriage in this most trans- actional decade. You are welcome to marriage, contractual style, where increasingly detailed le- gal documents spell out everything from who’ s going to do the dishes to who’ s going to get the house when you split.
This is family planning taken to extreme. Once employed solely by the rich, second-timers and the old industrialist carrying off the latest young cookie, the prenuptial agreement—a written pact between a couple outlining the financial obligation in the event of divorce—is becoming com- monplace in a litigious, disillusioned and materialistic age in which one in every two marriages is projected to end in divorce.

Founded on disillusionment, they cannot be separated from the United States." The result, argues Miller, is a kind of defending mentality. "We have got good at managing finiteness, failure and trouble with a sort of ’What’s yours and what’s mine is mine’s realism. We’ve seen it isn’t all about love. We’ve seen there’s power politics in there—a fight for control, and when you’ve got those things, you’re half way to lawyers and money."
In other ways, however, the compacts embody positive, even idealistic thinking about marriage, love and relations, a law scholar Isabel Marcus believes. Marcus says, "Contracts could spell the end of romantic love as salvation. They say love exists, but that it’s best accompanied by good, hard thinking about equitability."
By writing a contract, the couple gains control of its marriage. "What’ s good is it contributes to honesty; what’ s unfortunate is the idea that any contract can govern your emotions," says the author of the book The Nature of Love.
