It goes over the basic rules for making a marriage contract. John Schuman also describes some of the common reasons why judges refuse to enforce marriage contracts and cohabitation agreements. This episode should be mandatory listening for people considering a marriage contract or cohabitation agreement and people who know someone who should have such a contract.
