Prayer or Prenup?

[@SonyaOutThere]

I’m a licensed attorney in California, but currently a SAHM. Take it from someone who’s been married almost 9 years and also familiarized with the legal system. Despite all the horror stories I studied in California family law, my husband and I have no prenup. We share all income AS WELL as all inherited assets. We have 3 young kids and we work together for their future because they are the only things that will survive us after death, no car, jewelry, or house will remain with either one of us. Sure, we have our rough days and disagreements like everyone else, but that has not caused either one of us to forget why we created the family we did and to protect it. I too am getting annoyed and disillusioned with so many people, including family members, who keep predicting and somehow wanting our marriage to fail after almost 9 years to the point that I have no social media and very few friends in this day and age. People are toxic as hell 🔥 and very hostile toward anyone who isn’t talking negatively on their spouse or filing for divorce.

[@SCOTT77100]

!00%--Guys have been warning women for the longest time about toxic people whether male/female, friend, relative etc.....who intentionally try to ruin relationships. Good for you getting rid of social media and toxic people. @SonyaOutThere.

[@Neoteny374]

Why did you start with declaring you're an attorney in Cali, then say nothing relevant to that statement? Is marriage/ divorce a bad deal for men pr not?

[@SonyaOutThere]

@@Neoteny374 I’m just stating a fact and then proceeding to discuss what is pertinent. No different than if I had said I’m a doctor, teacher, a nurse, a hair dresser, etc. Marriage, IMO, is exclusively for people who want to create families. Working together for the well-being of your offspring and future generations, in that case, is very rewarding. Divorce, IMO, absent something major like violence, drug addiction, financial abuse, etc., is not a good deal for anyone.

[@etainvelorum5814]

​@@Neoteny374Marriage is a bad deal if you marry the wrong person which goes for both men and women. Divorce is also bad when you marry the wrong person which can invalidate the prenup like with signing it under duress. That's why it's important to know the man or woman you marry before taking such a big step.

[@smileyboyish]

well you wll never be attorney ever again after your statement no firm will ever hire you. I sincerely doubt you ever were an attorney

[@cisium1184]

As an attorney, one positive thing I can say about prenups is that the less contentious the discussion of that topic is, the less likely the marriage needs one. Also, partners having separate money is fine; hiding it is toxic.

[@phillconklin382]

What a great lady. May God give you many long and happy years.

One other thing... Prenups are not just about you and how you feel or what you need. They are about protecting your children as well, if worse comes to worse.

[@DougFLTRX]

I would not get married if I had even the slightest suspicion that I needed to protect myself in the event that trust was breached. If you don't fully trust the person you are about to marry, stay away from the institution altogether. The safest and most assured way to protect yourself from being hurt or getting bored and wanting something better is to refrain from marriage altogether. Why engage in a life contract with another person if you aren't confident in your choice of mate or you lack enough self awareness to know whether or not you'll get bored with the relationship? Divorce is at an all-time high because people do not understand that level of commitment, aren't mature or self aware enough for that level of commitment, or view marriage as merely a financial contract that involves sex.

[@laurahuchel]

Even though I’m praying for Estee and her marriage to succeed too, this is dangerous advice for women. There’s nothing shameful or sinful or less than ideal about expecting both partners to have financial independence, even if only one works outside the home. A spouse who truly loves you will want to protect you and make sure you are taken care of regardless of what happens in your future and your marriage. Maybe you will grow apart by your choice, or maybe terrifyingly your spouse will develop mental illness or physical injury preventing him from working. Maybe this will look like depression or a personality disorder that is latent. Maybe this will lead to abuse. A backup is not an insult to your spouse; it’s a way for your spouse to honor you as an autonomous human who makes contributions to your shared lifestyle. A backup is even for if you stay together, a way for you to earn when your spouse can’t. In healthy relationships, you have the freedom to compliment your partner by choosing them every day. Being financially trapped to a partner is not a flex for him or you.

My wife and I made the same agreement while engaged - that the "D" word would never be discussed or even joked about in our marriage. We believe that when you consider it a possibility, or plan for it with a prenup, or entertain it on any level, you increase you chances to have one. We are celebrating our 30 year anniversary this week. Three keys to our 30 years have been 1) Christ Centered, 2) Communication, and 3) Conflict Resolution.

[@familievk6447]

Could you please specify what you do in those three points? Love

[@revlura]

@@familievk6447 Sure. 1) Christ Centered: We both put Christ first in our relationship, meaning we try our best to live our ways in such a life that it pleases God. We serve Him first and foremost. The bible speaks a lot to marriage. "Husbands love your wives," and "Wives respect your husbands" for example. It speaks a lot about how we should treat others. "Consider others above yourselves." Love your neighbor as yourself." "Forgive one another." 2) Communication: We never presume the other can read our mind or pick up on subtle hints, and then get upset when they don't. Instead, we communicate clearly. We make it a point to communicate our expectations and needs. Often people can become disappointed when those are not met, but far too often they aren't met because they weren't CLEARLY communicated. (see active listening below). 3) Conflict resolution. To be sure, we have conflict, but not too often, and never too bad. When we do, we try not to view the other as the problem. Instead, we identify the problem and try to solve it together. That way we are on the same team attacking the problem, instead of on opposing teams attacking each other. We also practice, "Active listening." Active listening during conflict resolution works like this: She states her thoughts, concerns, hurts, issues, and I listen. Then when she has stated those, I empathetically repeat them back to her to confirm I understand what she is saying/feeling. "So, you're telling me you neglected when I neglect the yard... " Or, "So what your'e telling me is.... " It's all with an effort to listen and understand the other. Once she feels she has been heard and understood, then I do the same, and she listens, and then empathetically repeats back to me so I see she understands how I feel, or what my needs/concerns are. Then we try to come up with some reasonable solutions and pick the best one to try. If it doesn't work, we try another option to solve it. It really helps a lot.

[@Kay-tt9wd]

In today's society prenups are seen as a way for someone to not have to share their wealth, but you can put anything in a prenup. Like, you are only allowed to get divorced for xyz reason or mandatory marriage counseling for xyz time if someone wants a divorce. So, it can actually make people want to stay married instead of bail. That said, I am religious too so god's word is enough for me.

Please keep in mind that people lie. Also keep in mind that people change their minds when confronted with the reality of their choice. A man may know he has know desire to be traditional, but lie and say that he does. A man may think he wants to be traditional, but then change his mind when he has to walk in that choice. One last thing, if your name (ladies) is not on assets (house, car, business, boats, etc), and your man is not paying you a salary that he cannot touch--he is not a provider. If your husband passes away, you need to have assets and or money to your name and your name alone. It doesn't hurt to have a college degree and current (take classes, volunteer) skills that you can actually use out in the workforce. If you have nothing listed above, no retirement, etc., then your husband is not a provider. He could leave you at any moment or pass away-- and you and your children will be belly up.

I love and normally fully agree with you 100% - however, on rare circumstances a prenup would save women and children. I also thoroughly vetted my husband, trusted him, a lot of people in the community and church spoke very highly of him- unfortunately I was in one of those very rare circumstances and he later he was diagnosed (Court ordered forensic investigation as well as a full psychological test). I was a trad wife with children. But I and my children greatly suffered. In my opinion and to me it's common sense- a loving trustworthy man would want a good legal prenup to offer you and your future children security. You're giving up everything for this and if you end up in a rare situation or he changes and leaves you one day (I know it's hard to believe, but it happens to some trad wives), it is the children who will suffer the most. A loving trustworthy man would have no problem with a prenup- but other men do. So if he's truly trustworthy- he'll give you this security and safety- and you'd likely not need it.

Separation is on the table but only for a couple weeks then we have to try again (we've never had to implicate this). When we were engaged we were told to prepare for divorce by our year 5. I've been told to get a job or build a career so i can live on my own if we divorce. I told them why would I start something and have a plan for ending it because divorce isn't something that just happens to people, it is something they choose to do. And 70 percent of marriages are initiated by the woman so that means most likely i would be the one to leave (checks notes) to "find myself" at age 40!! I believe in my soul that doing that is absolutely ridiculous so that's not a worry. The men who divorce do it because of incompatibility which leads to new relationships, my husband and i made sure we were very compatible before we married so no to that too. Besides all that we made a commitment to GOD. I don't know about everyone else but we take that very serious, more than anything...

[@cynthiacastro158]

Yes girl!!! I love this. I teach this on my feminine energy motivation channel as well. Divorce is not an option. Wait to find the right person to marry, because I don’t believe in divorce. If you are going into the marriage with the idea that divorce is an option, then you are marrying the wrong person. I understand the concept that sometimes people change, but the reality is, you should know your partner inside and out before you take the plunge to marriage. We are all constantly growing and evolving, but the goal is to grow together. No man left behind. So if you are continuously, growing together, you are building a solid foundation for a successful and happy marriage. I, for myself, the only time I believe divorce may potentially be an option is with infidelity. I don’t believe that breaking that kind of trust with your partner is healthy for you in the long run. But this is just my personal opinion. To each their own.

What type of life insurance did you and your husband get? Can you elaborate more on that please? Is it something you both got thru his employer or a separate policy for each of you?

I say make it the case where divorce is only possible under extreme circumstance such abusive situations, cheating or if both partners agree to it. No more divorces just because you don't feel like being married.

[@Markus2E5I6]

@@fvvb6883 I disagree. Your breaking up families and taking peoples assets for no good reason other than your feelings. That is inherently selfish. Damaging your husbands life and children's life just because of your emotion. Does till death do us part not apply anymore? Unless there's mistreatment then I firmly believe divorce shouldn't be an option or they should just power through and stick with the decision they made.

[@fvvb6883]

@@Markus2E5I6 I 100% think it’s wrong to end a marriage just because you don’t want to be married anymore. But I don’t think it should be illegal. My mom was an emotionally abusive drug addict and would put us in repetitive danger by driving us around while under the influence. When my dad divorced her after she made it clear she didn’t want to get clean, the courts still gave her 50/50 custody. If the courts didn’t find my mom (who drove us around and got into many crashes with us in the car while being high) abusive enough to not take us away from her, what makes you think the courts would be better about deciding if a marriage is abusive enough to allow divorce? My point is I don’t trust the court enough to determine what situations are abusive and what aren’t.

[@sambailie4773]

So the fact you state a prenup regarding not asking hubby to sign one, this indicates you’re a very wealthy lady so are you qualified to tell other women not to have a backup plan as you have family money and an influencer job on YT. I’m a Christian lady, almost 48 and I went to university etc before I started dating. Married my first kiss, first boyfriend, waited for sex within marriage but still ensured I had my backup plan in case I needed it. My mother was a child bride and we lived in absolute poverty. Having no options ain’t pretty when your kid has no shoes and there’s a food scarcity. Girls, please….. have a backup plan. My father became mentally ill when I was a baby… these things happen. I like Estee but respectfully, you live in a bubble

[@TOhara-eb2lp]

This is horrible advice. You need to be able to know where everything is, the accounts and passwords and all and not rely on blind trust. If the man truly loves you, he’ll understand. Also, if you start with nothing like I did, there’s nothing to prenup but who knows down the line.

[@genasseeceline]

Amazing at the end about prayer!!

[@lloydgrubham6369]

The only issue I have with this topic is that you do have a prenuptial agreement. It's the one defined and given to you by the state. Which was written by people who don't necessarily have your best interest in mind.

[@Kristin2885]

When vetting a guy, I think it's also important to take into consideration the character of the man's father (or mother, if he was raised single-parent). How they view marriage, family, commitment and their integrity and how they conduct themselves in life greatly shapes and influences the children and their expectations of what family and marriage mean.

[@monkeyhugs2434]

What you're saying is true. God hates a divorce and you should never plan on it down the road for if it doesn't work out. Gods word gives us every tool we need to have a happy loving family and marriage. You're right never say the D WORD. The more you do the more it puts the idea in action.

[@rh7968]

What about health insurance, fire insurance, car insurance, wills etc. all those things help you be prepared for the worst and have some protection in place for a SAHM and future children . The prenup just another form of protection That’s like saying marriage is just a piece of paper

[@TOhara-eb2lp]

I don’t think I ever heard Jesus give financial advice.

[@kevinhdo90]

I'm trying to make sense of this. So... a prenup protects the person from a bad incentive of divorce. No one ever claims it will happen but the protection is useful to have... similarly, a car insurance is made to protect you from an incident. I think the justification presented to not get car insurance because you never think you'll be the one causing the incident is a bit hubris...

[@EsteeWilliams]

The only “backup” my husband and I choose is life insurance which protects us individually if one of us were to have a fatal accident. That’s why I mention life insurance is great but personally I don’t think prenups are great.. just my opinion though 😊

[@kimwells2881]

I agree with never hiding money! However, do you have your own credit line or joint banking account in case, God forbid, something happens to him? I think my concern is more in when a wife or husband has no idea about the finances and isn’t on accounts. Thank you again for your earnest comments.

I really like your content, Estee. ♡ For me personally, I wouldn't want to be a trad-wife myself. I am really in favour of the 50/50 model. But your content is so sweet and inspiring. ♡ The 1950's aesthetics are so lovely. I really do like following your congent. I find it so terrible that their are actually people out there wishing u being hit by your husband and similar terrible things. I hope you dont take this personally cus I really do think that some young woman, and even some of my close girlfriends, would really prefer being a trad-wife and not having to work a +40h job. I hope all those terribly negative comments and hate dont affect u that badly. It makes me even sad reading them. Kind regards ♡♡♡

[@20truck]

I don't understand why you said you wouldn't have a prenup, the only reason you need a prenup is if one person in the marriage is coming in with the considerably more assets than the other one. Prenups are designed for the instance if two people are getting married and one of the people is rather wealthy in the other one is not, that is so the first person doesn't lose everything if the other person decides to leave. For instance take myself If I get married again I will without a doubt have a prenup, own a very large business and unless I'm marry another person that has much the same thing I'm not going to risk losing that in the event something were to happen to our marriage, not that I think that would happen but I got divorced once and I didn't think I would that time because a woman that cheated because she didn't get her way. Now most states will say in a divorce you leave with what you came with so you have a rather large amount of assets You're allowed to take those assets with you plus any money those assets were to make You get to keep as well, but divorce can be very nasty and it's almost a 50% chance it's going to happen, matter of fact my lawyer told me straight up the day you get married is the day you're divorce begins. Anyway I hope the best for you and your husband and I hope it works out I have seen couples that have been married for 70 years and that takes a very special type of person.

The idea of a prenup never even crossed my mind when I married my husband. I always thought of prenups as kind of... idk... bougie, I guess? Like something for country club types.

[@EsteeWilliams]

From what I know prenups USED to be really common for richer men to protect their money and for older people. But NOW it’s becoming more common even for young people all because trust is very rare in this culture and we are told not to trust anyone completely but ourselves

[@joycejackson9315]

I agree that hiding money away is dishonest. However, I think it's perfectly exceptable when a wife gets an allowance to put some back and be openly honest about it with each other. That way, if something does go out of order . Like a divorce, you have some money. Or if he finds himself in a bad business decision, he can count on that to take pressure off of his shoulders till things improve. Or have start-up money that can't be attached by law as his assets in case you have to start over. Gifts are exempt attachments in bankruptcy . A womens allowance is a gift. He he doesn't have it you can't have it to spend. Kinda like a wedding ring. It was given I good faith. I'm a housewife, and he doesn't care what I spend out of my allowance. However, I have to ensure all the bills are paid, and thiers no surprise expenses that we both agree on that are nesscary. Or if I want to buy him something really great he wouldn't buy for himself I can use it to buy a gift for him on occasion.

Prayer in all things. Good advice.

[@flowerpower3618]

Estee. This is such valuable advise.

[@dlyras]

Normally I agree with you but not on this one. If you are an advocate for life insurance, you should be an advocate for a prenup for the exact same reasons, being that despite your best intentions life is unpredictable. Marriage is a legally binding contract with financial implications, and while I agree that you should do everything in your power to hold your marriage together, every well written contract requires an exist clause that protects both parties.

Hey Estee, 17 year old girl here 😊 just wanted to say how much I appreciate you and you bravely putting your traditional values out here on yt. It is soooo encouraging! My Mom married someone who she could not trust (she didn’t mean to, but she was young and her parents were not people she could look to for guidance), and had to divorce him for our safety when I was 7. By the amazing grace and love of Jesus, she has just remarried an amazing guy a couple months ago. All that to say, I haven’t grown up with a lot of examples of what a healthy marriage looks like, and so this and your channel have helped me SO much 😁 God bless you and your husband!!😊❤

My sister is quite a traditional wife with three kids though we do not really call it "tradwife" here in Europe. They have no prenup but I always advised her to get a private pension insurance on her name. Her husband owns a small company and makes good money but for taxation it is already difficult to say how much he makes, and in case of divorce the money could be elusive. I try to put the main focus on the fact that she will be covered in case he dies. However, a brother will naturally be more careful in these things.
