A prenup is mean to handle matters of finances,not health. Those "clauses" are an abuse of the prenuptual agreement. Like someone else said, if smoking or weight are an issue, then don't get married in the first place.

If you start adding stipulations that allow a way out, you might ought not get married ! How about a clause that if you lose a limb or a breast or develop a scar or are injured in an accident???? This is stupid. If smoking bothers you, this person is not your ideal mate - DON'T GET MARRIED ! Smoking causes cancer & heart disease - this isn't the person for you. Breast cancer can develop or uterine or prostate or testicular. Its just as hard to watch someone die from that. The VOWS SAY IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH, FOR RICHER OR POORER. Don't take them if you can't live by them.

Here are a couple good guides to help you decide whether you need a prenuptial agreement or not: http://www.life123.com/article_FullStory/Do-You-Need-a-Prenuptial-Agreement_1205354002759.html

For someone who lost a spouse to lung cancer, heart disease, or some other disease that could have been avoided with a lifestyle change, I can see a health stipulation as part of a pre-nup. It's hard enough to go through the loss of a loved one when there was nothing you could have done about it, but to watch all of the warning signs re-appear the second time around when you could have prevented it is probably more than most people can take.

The movie is "Made of Honor", by the way :)
It's Patrick Dempsey's dad's wedding.

Whatever happened to "til death do us part"? I guess I'm old fashioned at my 28 years of age, but I think the whole idea of a prenuptial agreement is ridiculous. If we go into marriage expecting to get divorced, doesn't that make our vows null? Its no wonder that over half of marriages end in divorce! I for one will not even consider a prenuptial agreement when I get married. When I make a vow I mean it and I will not put stipulations on my love or on the vows that I make.

I'm the guy you criticize for advocating national health care.
You have hit correctly on (some of) the problems with our current system of private insurance.
It can and does bankrupt millions of people. Pre-existing conditions except in the largest groups are basically not insurable. Insurance companies do go broke, leaving policyholders in the twin lurch of not having claims covered and then having to go back to the market only to be refused for the future. "Competitive marketing" means participants always have to pay estra for sales commissions and advertising costs (for WHAT, by the way?) Individual states have widely-varying laws and degrees of insurance supervision. Such legislation in those states is always a political football and an uncertainty for citizens.
Find us a national strategy that eliminates these problems for individuals and I'll be happy to agree with you about not having the government "run" the health care. But FIND US the solution, please, before you knock the rest of us who have a grasp on the problems that most "conservatives" merely ignore.
