The United Methodist Declaration of Consent is awkward. Something seems to be missing. The lines may be out of order, too.

To all the men out their about to get married, run!!!!! they just want to lock you down so they have someone to nag, complain to, and also to make their friends jealous and appease their mothers. As soon as you try to loosen their evil grip on you they will notice and file for divorce as soon as they find someone else who they wont get into a legal relationship with until they have taken every last penny from you. Remember they get at least half! HALF! may those words haunt you!!!!!!!!!!
