Love is a beautiful thing, it sings lovely songs of reassurance during stormy days, it speaks healing and it calms every raging sea. Love knows no bound and when genuine, it breaks every wall that comes as a barrier.

People who have not actually been in a relationship before will probably think of love as flowers, honey and sweet experiences, but when you look at it from a different perspective, you then understand that though being in a relationship is actually sweet, it has its own down times.
Even though there use to be a problem or two in relationships, when there is love, there is room for forgiveness.
Nowadays, the rise of gold diggers, manipulation, toxicity and lack of compatibility in many relationships has caused quite a lot of harm to dating. Dating is now seen as a business where the man pays for the woman's love and care. A man is never genuinely loved for who he is, but for what he has to offer.
So far, in some of the relationships I was opportune to observe, I noticed that the major thing that holds a relationship, trust, is always found missing as everyone is a suspect. I heard a quote some time ago that made me pause and think. The quote says: the best marriage is based on lies ~ unknown. I could not help it but think, since I say I want this person, why should I lie to them? Welp, with time, I got to perfectly understand this quote.
I use to think that your spouse is your best friend who you can tell every single thing about you, including your finances and all that, but, welp, I had a rethink. Divorce is real, 50/50 can make a man lose half of his life, thus, leading him to severe depression.
Love is a key thing in every marriage, it builds the foundation as it comes with many great qualities but the big question here is, is love alone actually enough?
From my point of view, if you actually have a genuine love, if you have a person that is willing to be by your side till eternity, a true person, then yes, love is enough. But the truth is, you will never know who is true to you. Everybody pretends to love and care for you until a couple months or maybe a few years after your marriage to them.
I don't really fancy prenuptial agreements, but with how the world is today, love is never enough. I've heard lots of stories where people take advantage of other people's love to get a huge chunk of their finances.
Signing the documents of a prenuptial agreement doesn't actually mean that you don't love or trust your spouse or something, but it actually saves a lot of stress after divorce or loss of a partner.
For now, until I am able to read and meditate on the contents of a prenup agreement, I don't think I will love to sign a prenup.
