S2 Episode 6: Contracts Have a Place in Romance
Episode Summary
As unromantic as it sounds, legal agreements make romantic partnerships stronger. Think of these contracts as insurance policies. Prenuptial, postnuptial and cohabitation agreements allow partners to clearly define their boundaries and expectations for one another.
Anyone who thinks that legal agreements demean a romantic relationship are looking at it from a mistaken perspective. Instead of signaling distrust or disrespect, contracts encourage partners to ask difficult questions, reveal financial philosophies and offer a fair and equitable distribution of assets, should the relationship dissolve.
Moreover, legal agreements can help protect partners from debt, ease fears over the future of dependents and make sure each person’s contributions to the family unit are recognized and valued.
At the end of each episode, Marlee and Lis vent about commonly experienced issues in romantic relationships. In this episode, the ladies discuss how unfair it is when a person blames their partner for their unhappiness.
Show Notes
On the surface, the idea of contracts and love together may not make much sense. After all, contracts aren’t exactly romantic. However, the fact is, there is definitely a place for contracts in your relationship. By defining terms and agreements through contracts, it can take off a lot of pressure in certain situations.
Contracts are like insurance policies. If you and your partner can make thoughtful decisions that reflect your relationship at that time and account for future possible scenarios, you show your position and reinforce the commitment and understanding of each other’s perspective.
When most people think of contracts, prenuptial agreements for example, people often look at it through the lens of finances. But if you can’t talk about finances openly early on, you probably shouldn’t be with your partner. Setting expectations will help to avoid conflict later down the road.
If you’re being upfront and honest in your relationship, there shouldn’t be any issue cementing those expectations through a contract. Whether it’s money, property, or agreements about your children, contracts can help define what would happen in the instance of a separation and can actually make that process much less difficult.
In this episode, the vent session topic is: When people blame their partner for their unhappiness. It’s a sign of immaturity and is often used to rationalize bad behavior. Weak, lazy people do this to avoid taking responsibility for their lives. It can be used to deflect attention and is often a defense mechanism. It’s a learned behavior that gets passed on from one generation to the next.
