Dear Annadios, I don't think this kind of vows are very rational. Keeping a contract for the sake of it is not rational or objective; its conditions may be irrational themselves, and reality – our own reality too – is not fixed. Marriage is an irrational institution by definition, as it ignores and tries to impose our needs to this basic fact. I don't think calling yourself a "rationalist" is rational either. You don't need to be an "-ist" about things that are plain true. However, I really value what this signifies in how you intend to move forward. It is not easy. Best of luck!

I agree with Wuzzums here, but thank you Liams for posting this. Brain science is very interesting, even though it's true that most often they just look at simple correlations (well, it's way to earn a living, isn' it? ). Some helpful facts can be drawn from this still.
