Ok, it was kind of brought up this morning in a different forum.
What's wrong with a prenupital agreement? Marriage, according to the courts, is also a business agreement. Why not lay out all your assests before marriage and hammer out an agreement? I think that prenup's would help greatly if done by most couples. One of the number one reasons that relationship fail is because of finances. So, why not discuss this before marriage and have it in writing.

I have no problem with prenup's. I have a feeling that I will be making way more money than my future husband. But, who knows. Having a pre-nup doesn't say that you don't love or trust the other person. They just say this is what I have coming into the marriage and this is what you have...let's be honest and up front about this before we join assests.

uh oh. You don't remember the fleecing I received on this forums for this? Do a little digging, I know some of the women in the thread certainly were, for gold anyway

Nope, I didn't catch the one you posted.

But, I did it anyways. Bring it on anyone that doesn't agree with me.

Prenups say very loudly "I DON'T TRUST YOU!"...and if someone wants you to sign one of those then they already are thinking of away out of the relationship...so why invest your heart , years and trust in someone who doesn't understand the word commitment....you know this is the truth.

I agree with you... I deff wanna get one when I get married cuz u just never know these days

I have Nooooo problem with a prenup.......


can just live without the marriage part......

committed relationship....Yes


Marriage........nawwww

VERY NECESSARY FOR THE PERSON WITH THE MOST.

agrees with itsme123...no sense in getting married wen you already signed the divorce papers, so to speak

marriage is about love, but it is also a business arangement also.

pre-nups are not an escape hatch.. they are just a merging of assets... just like you would do with any business... if you were to go into busniness with family you would want all your assets that you are bring into that business open and up front, right?

but with a prenup... it isn't like that.. you are just putting forth your assets going into the marriage. If you have worked really hard for something, dont you want credit for it.

are you worth 8 million dollars, and if you were would you hand half over for a failed marriage when you had it before the marriage?

Sorry. Just my opinion. Marriage in not a buisness. Nor is it about money. Marriage is about a love between two people that you decide can never be broken.

NO, THEY ARE THINKING MY GOD I HAVE FAR MORE TO LOSE THAN SHE DOES. IF SHE CHEATS AND DIVORCES ME, AND THEN SUES ME FOR HALF OF ALL MY ASSETS I AM SCREWED BEYOND BELIEF. A PERSON ON EITHER SIDE MUST PROTECT WHAT IS LEGALLY THEIRS AT THE START OF THE MARRIAGE. PERIOD. IT IS A LEGAL BINDING IRREVOCABLE CONTRACT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE. IT IS JUST LIKE A BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP WITH CERTAIN INTIMATE BENEFITS. IT IS NAIVE TO THINK OTHERWISE. GOOD LUCK!

Marriage is a dying institution. I say never get married and keep what is yours

I agree with Single_Rob.

Think of the bone-headed mistakes we hear about celebrities that didn't have prenups and married people that had nothing when they came into the relationship and are now walking away with HALF of the celebrity's money and possessions!

Should I remarry, I am having a prenup.

I didn't work my butt off to have someone marry me for my money and then fleece me when they find someone hotter or whatever.

Think about it.

Sure people say marriage ain't about the money, but who wants to marry someone that can't afford to help provide for a family?

Also, say you are worth 8 Million. Are you sure it's love the other person is marrying you for?

Just some thoughts to ponder.

Personally, going into a marriage it isn't that I am thinking it will end, but it is a way to say these are the assests I have coming into the marriage and these are the assets you bring to the marriage.

As much as we would like to think that marriage is all peaches and roses, its tough. And marriage is more than just love between two ppl. And according to the law is a legally binding agreement, which once divorce insues than its a business agreement.

not argueing with you..

your feelings and opinions are urs to have..but..

a prenump does not scream mistrust or doom...

A good and fair prenump set up would be..

1.the man or woman doesn't loose all they have worked themselves to the bone for..just for someone else to take..

A. many ppl do marry for money....thats why they are called gold diggers..not..soulmates...


2.after one marries...a good prenump would be set up ..that assets accrued during the cours of the marriage would be marrital property...

with that..as the yrs pass and the marriage is loving and healthy...each would be taken care of in the name os love...

3Irreconsilable differences is completely different than someone cheating...

A. a cheater should get nothing....

B. irreconsilable differences..that is a 2 way street..with time invested in each other...a prenump should still stand as the couple were in love....time invested...a life joined and shared...it just didn't work out...

How about we just **** and skip the marriage

Please don't shoot, but I think prenups should be mandatory.

Kidding

...but I do think they're a good idea. Ideally, it would never surface again anyway.

Since I don't intend on ever being divorced...I'll probably never be married, so it really doesn't matter anyway.
