A Marriage Contract As a Way to Negotiate

Not so long ago, such a thing as a "marriage contract" was associated with the Western way of life. At us it was not accepted to discuss questions of inheritance of material assets at the introduction into a home life.
But the last decades seem to have radically changed the attitude of Russians towards this issue. Today, notaries note: in Russia the number of marriage contracts has sharply increased.
The possibility to conclude a marriage contract with our citizens appeared in March 1996, after the Family Code of Russia came into force. Of course, the marriage contract, has not yet become an ordinary phenomenon in our life. Many, especially the older generation, still treat him as something alien, and at times believe that a marriage contract is capable of completely killing the feelings of the newlyweds to each other.
But the practice of using a marriage contract in the West has long proved that this is not a sign of distrust of people to each other, but an opportunity to agree in advance on the settlement of financial-property relations.
Concluding a marriage contract at the beginning of their married life, people choose the moment when they are ready to hear each other when they have confidence in their "second half". Quite a different picture arises when a divorce, when the winter claims and grievances take the place of common sense.
It is interesting that from the point of view of psychologists, the conclusion of a marriage contract is a decision of psychological mature people who understand that, as if the life together did not start happily, in the future it can develop in different ways. This is a real view of reality. And the ability to agree during this period is just a manifestation of trust to each other, the ability to hear a partner and trust him.
The marriage contract touches upon matters of property and material wealth. But in some countries, the marriage contract regulates even the responsibility for treason. Perhaps, someday, we will be able to expand the marriage contract .
The marriage contract should be considered as an opportunity to agree with each other, show respect and care for your partner, thus demonstrating your love. With this approach, this document will not cause resentment and will not offend feelings. In addition, the marriage contract is also a manifestation of responsibility for future children. After all, how many tragic cases occur when children suffer from the divorce of their parents not only psychologically, but also materially. So the conclusion of the marriage contract can be considered as the decision of two adult and responsible people. And the way of marriage is made in heaven, property issues are still better negotiated with a notary!
