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..

Because too many affluent people get married and suddenly after three or four years and at least one child that person suddenly is facing having to loose half of everything to the partner they were supposed to have for life.

The way a lot of people treat relationships here makes me question Monogamy HARD! Besides, this is my take on it is this, Never get married if you are well to do. Then you don't have to worry about it.

I think a Pre-naup is a damn good idea. It protects your assets should the marriage fall apart. I think if you truly loved someone; signing a pre-naup is a good way to show it. It shows you are not after their money or what they own and really do love them for who they are.

No way in hell she's getting my horror DVDs.

my collection of used bubble gum ive found underneath tables and chairs is off the table !

Marriage has nothing to do with love. It's a legal contract between two people. It's about the merging of assets and often debt.

Think of it this way; Microsoft decides to merge with Joe's used tire shop. But, Joe gets to have as much control over the new company assets as Bill Gates does. Not really fair is it?

If Joe decides he's unhappy with Microsoft and whats out he can take half of Microsoft's assets with him? Now that REALLY doesn't make sense.

A prenup is just another layer of protection. Anyone that gets married without one is being foolhardy.

You mean marriage isn't just a bet for half your stuff you'll be together forever?

Thought it was Russian roulette.

Yes. And that's why I won't be getting married again.

I think in a marriage, if a woman refuses to go down on her husband, then he goes to jail if he forces her, but if she don't put out, then she gets nothing of his half, and it's gourds for divorce.

You and ur horror dvds!

Pre-nups are there for a reason. It's a way for people to protect themselves so they won't be @ssed-out when it comes time for a divorce.

Sometimes Pre-nups are necessary. That does not mean you are not in love with the other person.

I think a prenup is a good indicator you shouldnt get married

if that type of insecurity exists,, the relationship probably wont last long

,,,just my opinion though

given the divorce rate there should be a pre-nup for every marriage
spelling out how they will divide their assets in case of a
divorce.

that prenup is understood,, its called 50/50

50/50 is never fair given that each party brings different
assets into the marriage as well as different earning potential
and there is no guarantee that 50/50 would ever be enforced by
the court even if the parties desired that unless there is a
pre-nup specifying that this is what the parties desire.

it is much better that the people getting married discuss their
assets and money issues of all sorts and agree to what they think
is equitable before getting married rather than leaving it to a
court system to decide later...

i think that this should be done for everyone as a part of getting
married nowadays and be set up to be done routinely without the
hassles/costs associated with lawyers. then, if they have to break
up later everyone will know exactly what to expect and there could be
a lot less arguing and strife.

You can never know the mind of another. If I were a very wealthy man and a woman truly loved me and was committed to me she shouldn't have a problem with a prenup because she'll never leave.

I'd be suspicious of a woman that didn't want to sign one.

I thought that the men I married loved me and I trusted them..


But if i had of had the sense to have a pre nup, then i would be way better off now. So maybe it should just be part of the marraige licence.
