As a general principle (not specific to relgiousity or atheism) terms and conditions freely entered into in contemplation of marriage are to be respected.
Having said that, I've noted the surplus of (pardon the term) middle aged marriage eligible women vs the number of middle aged marriage eligible men. If she's willing to divorce over this, you, as the man are statistically more likely to find a (pardon the term) a better deal, than she is.
A dear friend of my older sis extracted a 'and hope to die' promise prior to her wedding from her groom to stop smoking as soon as all the hubbub of the wedding was over.
30 years later, he is still smoking and on full disability (smoking related), and she is stuck being his goddam nurse. She knew if she tried to hold him to his smoking pledge, he'd leave for another woman who either smoked herself or didn't care. And there they are. My sis just found out he's on disability, and apparently he's been on it a couple years. Just indicates to me she is aware this is a sore subject and it doesn't reflect well on either of them.
DISCLAIMER:
I'm gay, take advice on hetero marriage from me at your own peril

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
