Does marriage automatically revoke a mutual will?

section 18 of the Wills Act 1837 revokes the Wills unless there was an expectation of marriage when it was made. Clearly, on the facts, there wasn’t an expectation so revocation takes effect.

I assume the broader question is whether the overarching agreement between the couple survives. If they are aware the Wills are going to be revoked on marriage then is it reasonable to assume that they are agreeing to end the agreement?
