Now, you've gone and said it much more clearly than I attempted to...
And I can get behind that, 100%.
If two people make a deal, between themselves only and no one else (a marriage doesn't involve promising the audience anything!), and both people agree to change the terms of the deal later on... well, who's at fault? No one. Everything's on the table, in the clear. Hell, even amendments get made to the constitution... and thank god they do, considering some of the "contracts" that were agreed to earlier in our country's history.
