Bridal Vows Revisited

(4 of 4)

Adam and Cindy's agreement contains a "sunset clause," also called a "poison pill." Designed to prevent a difficult settlement if the marriage falls apart quickly, it disappears after a specified term of years, by which point the couple assume they're in it for keeps. Adam first proposed 25 years, but Cindy's lawyer objected. Adam's family suggested 18, because the Hebrew number 18, chai, means "life." "I just don't think about it," says Cindy. "I believe if you both give it 100% and just cherish it, you can work out your problems."

After all their care and preparation, how does Adam rate the probability of their marriage's lasting? "Truthfully," he admits, "I have no idea."
