A little bit more about Lovenups

LoveNups is a totally new concept. It is a breath of fresh air.

The word Prenup has a negative connotation because traditionally it focuses on the assets of one of the parties getting married. It’s so bad in fact that most people feel uncomfortable just bringing the subject up. We don’t want anything like that.

A LoveNup, on the other hand, is just the opposite. It is a document that shows and reinforces your love for each other. It shows your commitment to your marriage and what you are willing to do if times get difficult. It doesn’t discuss finances. It is open and honest. It is something you should feel open and proud to discuss. In fact, if your spouse or fiance doesn’t like the idea, you should be asking why.

At LoveNups, we want to change the world just a little bit. We want to lower the divorce rate. When things get a little difficult for you and your spouse, you can activate the Lovenup and get access to our “Pro Marriage” counselors.  They will work together with you to try and bring things back on track. For those that divorce is the only option, we provide access to mediation services to make it more open, less painful and less expensive.

LoveNups is the ” fairytale, honorable, knight in shining armor”, concept.

Marriages – 50% end in divorce

Do you have a coin? Heads or tails?

“How can that be”, you ask?

Simple really, around 2 million people get married in the US every year. Unfortunately, here is the bad news, over a million people get divorced. Pretty sad state of affairs, but the stats get even more interesting for second and third marriages. The divorce rate for second marriages are over 60% and 70% for third marriages. I don’t think they have any statistics for fourth marriages, but if they did it would a palm to the forehead and shaking your head left to right. So, what does this tell us? Well, if we didn’t get it right the first time, the odds aren’t in our favor going forward. So, what do we learn from this. Well, maybe, just maybe, it might make more sense to work at your first marriage then try look for a better answer in your second.

Just a thought…. but it’s a thought shared by many professionals. You know, the people that have seen and heard it all.

LoveNups Private Beta Release

Today marks a landmark day in the life of LoveNups and marriages as a whole. Today, we moved all our code and technology from our design site over to our live site, LoveNups.com. We realize that we still have a lot to do, but we are now ready to show our work and ideas to a select few. That’s why we are now in “Private Beta”, a term we use a little loosely. We are not fully functional yet and we know it. Though, soon we will be and it’s time to invite a select few to view our work.

Want to help us? – Then nitpick, complain & question

We sincerely need your feedback and suggestions. We especially need your questions. You can help us make this site better and help us with our mission of helping marriages. A question, concern, idea, etc bring a smile to our face far more than words of praise. Don’t hesitate to criticize or question because we know our potential users will have the same issues.  We know we don’t have it 100% right…. we know we might not even have it 50% right, but we will strive to make it the best we can. The last thing we want is a couple that could have benefited from LoveNups to be turned off due to confusion or misunderstanding. We know we have a great idea and mission. We know we have a great name. What we don’t know, is if we have implemented it to the benefit and understanding of all.

…. and we’re off. Thank you

I wanted to make a change. I wanted to make a difference. I started with an idea, a vision, that commitment in marriage and it’s sanctity needs just a little help these days. That divorce, the ugly little secret, needs a major change. It’s clear that business as usual isn’t the answer. Unless of course your a high powered divorce attorney, then maybe staying the same appeals to you…. I’m just not sure. But, a few of us think there is a better way. A way to help save marriages that still have love, and for those that a separation is the only way, a little fairness, openness, and dignity added to the process.

So, an idea has grown and development has budded. Still in it’s infancy, but robust none the less, I’m so proud to be a part of it. But, it is the help of true friends and those who support our mission that are making LoveNups what it needs to be… a game changer, change agent, a breath of fresh air. A simple idea that has grown into a passion to help couples that have become one.

So I want to take this time to thank you, each and every one of you that has helped me, or just spreads the word about us, and will hopefully help make this world just a little bit better.
