I understand that a nuptial protects each others assets; but why marry then if both people want to protect themselves from the other, just in case of a divorce?
Personally, if I want a prenup and so does the other, then it obviously means we both know something WILL go wrong. So why marry?
Most married couples do have prenups. What does that tell you about the mindset of these marriages out there?
It’s so contradicting to take a Vow for Life, yet sign a prenup!
SO MANY PUBLIC FIGURES DO IT. WHAT KIND OF EXAMPLE ARE THEY SHOWING TO THE PUBLIC?
I’m going to have a prenup, no matter how in love I am! My parents divorced, but when they first took those vows; they were MAAADLY in love. Really would not like to say, why they divorced.
hotdogse: I hope your not staying with her because your afraid of losing a lot of assets. It’s only been 3 years, and you will lose something, but If you wait longer, she could get even more than you imagined.
Yes, I do agree the prenup overshadows the vows of I Do, "for richer for poorer till death do you part".
This prenup, I conclude is like having a 3rd party in the marriage. "The medium, between the two". IT is always there to protect yourselves from the one you vow to love for ever, and prepares you for just in case it’s not forever?!
I agree to them for both parties, and it just leaves me with a big headache.
If the "richer for poorer " is taken out of the vows, it would make it quite clearer where both parties stand.
But this still leaves some room for contradiction, to the whole idea of the moral standards in one’s marriage today, that have prenups.
Bottomline, you got married to your prenup first, before you made the vows to the one you want to love forever. There’s still a reason for debating this. Talk to your lawyer first, before you talk to the one you want to spend the rest of your life with?!
This sais alot about the institution of marriage.
