It's a good idea mrgoodstuff but it's not reality simply. Women are programmed to get ahold of your resources but once they've gotten that, you're done. And with the legal system acting as the enforcer now, you've got no choice. Fruitbat, not the brightest guy in the world is right, here in the good old US, the judge can more or less do what they want. They don't like the pre-nup she signed, they don't think it's fair? Well they will throw it out. I would hope most of the time they don't but again, here in the good old US, you don't have the same rights as a criminal defendant in the family courts.
Honestly, the best that you can hope to do in most situations is to have a stalemate if you will. Telling someone to lead is great but you can't lead when you don't have the power. It's like telling a project manager to lead when they can't make any decisions about timelines, personnel, equipment or budget. If they don't have any decision making authority in that regard, they are simply a cheerleader. Once you get married, you give up a good bit of the authority to lead. I used to think marriage is a great idea but it's not. Society has changed in the blink of an eye and the man has been depowered. She doesn't like your face anymore? She can leave. She meets another guy/girl who gives them the tingles? You're gone. Before, she used to have to really weigh out whether or not it was prudent to leave you. She wasn't leaving you for the guy on the street simply because he gave her the tingles. He had to have the juice, the resources to get her to leave in addition. Now, she files for divorce, get alimony, gets child support and gets the tingles. Good luck leading in that environment.
