For Couples Everywhere: A Romantic Legal Agreement
The latest innovation from self-help law guru Ed Sherman
What's wrong with prenuptial agreements? Plenty. "Most couples justifiably regard traditional relationship agreements like a root-canal," says self-help law guru Ed Sherman. They are about power and control, written in sphincter-tightening legalese that fails to honor a couple's love, trust and affection. So Sherman has discarded the money-grubbing, legalistic and punishing traditional prenuptial agreement and created something truly revolutionary for couples everywhere: the Couples Contract.
Sherman offers insights on how to easily create an agreement, written with love, that can enhance and possibly save a relationship. His tips and advice captivate as he shows how to:
- Understand and customize the legal relationships in your personal life
- Secure essential legal benefits
- Tailor the rules to suit your needs
- Ensure that your relationship never ends up in court
- Establish a plan that can help solve relationship issues that might come up for any couple, whether married, getting married, or living together
Manhattan psychiatrist and professor John W. Jacobs, MD, thinks many people are afraid of commitment and marriage because they fear the terrible emotional and financial costs of breakup, perhaps having seen friends or family suffer horribly. Dr. Jacobs believes that clear agreements in Sherman's Couples Contract about how a couple will handle decision-making, finances, and resolution of conflicts will allow couples to feel safer about committing or getting married.
Scores of professionals in the financial planning and relationship counseling fields, including many religious counselors, have enthusiastically embraced the Couples Contract as a much-needed alternative to the prenup.
Ed Sherman is a family law attorney, an award-winning author, and the founder of Nolo Press and the self-help law movement. His new positive and constructive relationship agreement is at the heart of his latest books.
