Whats the essence of making this little document if you feel you're so much in love with that person and want it to last forever. Marriage is a funny affair..lol..everyone is scared of being cheated during a divorce..


When you are in your youth you have little in the way of wealth, unless you have received an inheritance, and start married life with someone in similar circumstances. It is if you find yourself marrying later in life, maybe a second marriage, after you have been working for a long time and have accumalated the fruits of your labours when it would be prudent, in my opinion, to think about a prenuptial agreement, particularly if your future spouse is not bringing the same as you to the table.


I find it interesting that an older woman's value suddenly comes down to her monetary assets when it comes to a divorce but it is frequently about other more intrinsic assets when it comes to the marriage. The only place this value takes another turn around is when the husband becomes infirm and needs a nurse


Oh heck; monetary assets are important to me too and I have never married or divorced. I don't want to be living out of a cardboard box and eating scraps out of a garbage can. So,I would have a pre-nup.

Right Kristi...Pre-nups are relative to time and circumstances of marriage...

Honestly all those that think just because you do not marry someone but live with them should have it in writting as well. For those that think just because you live with them they can not get anything your soooooooo wrong... My brother lost more by living with someone for 6 months then he did in a 19 year marriage... slaphead

Hundred Percent agree with the classes idea!

What is so sad to me is when I see couples that have been together for years or someone step up in the last decades of life or so and be the caregivers; sometimes literally working themself nearly to death 24/7 and then children or grandchildren or siblings that did not "darkent the door" tromp in and take anything and everything of value leaveing the caregiver wheather relative, lover, or friend to fend the best way they know how.

I have literally seen caregivers evicted with in hours of the the cared for person's death, and become homeless because they are so long out of the paid job market, frail even themselves, or just too trusting to believe that the person who has promised them any number of consessions for minimal or no pay in leiu of if they faithfully provide that care betray them. I have even seen caregivers loose their personal possessions because they can not prove they actually own such basic things as clothing, bedding, food stuffs, even medical equipment. This not just a gender specific kind of abuse either. It is particularly sad when it is a person with limited intelligence or language skills that has been literally treated like a house slave for years because it was the only way they could survive and the family and society has basiclly used them sometimes for decades because they could not defend themself. That isn't always preventable with a "prenup" but occassionally it can be.

I don't think there is any reason to get married. Prenup or no prenup. Maybe if you are having children together. But even then I'm not sure that's a reason to get married.
