Prenuptial agreement
If you were asked to sign a prenup, would you sill want to get married to that person? I always thought that if you go into marriage with the thought of divorce then it will happen. Signing a prenup is kind of like saying "hey, if this doesn't go well then we can just get a divorce and all my money will still be okay."

People buy life insurance all the time because in the unlikely event they should die early, they don't want to leave financial and legal difficulties for their family to deal with. Let's say the odds of dying before your family is financially independent from you (children grown, spouse retired w/pension & savings) is 10 percent--a generous estimate. Most people have some form of life insurance to prepare for this unlikely event.
Then there's the divorce rate . . . say, 50 percent. I understand why people want to believe they won't get a divorce, and it's the same reason they don't want to believe they'll die young. But it's wishful thinking with no guarantee.
A prenuptial agreement provides for a smoother transition for the family in the event of a divorce, much like life insurance provides for a smoother transition in the event of a death.

It would ruin the romance a bit for me, but I would probably still go through with it. Prenups are pretty standard anymore, especially for people considering marriage who are in their late 20's or older.
If you have any estate, your best bet is to probably get a prenup. I probably would've gotten one too, except that when I got married all I owned was a $2000 car, a computer, and $100 cash, and my husband owned even less.
You're right though. It is completely unromantic, since divorce is the last thing you want to think of when contemplating a beautful, pristine marriage. But, yeah, as long as I had a part in the decision making process of the prenup, I would still go through with it. But if my fiance came up to me with an already drafted prenup and went "Here, sign this," I might have some second thoughts.

Well. personally I would still go through with the marriage, because all I know is that...if things change I don't want all my money to disapear. I think the guy is just making sure his future is taking care of just in case. I wouldn't worry about it! good luck! ♥ caitie

edit......you could think that at first but these days 50% of mariages end up in divorce and your better safe than sorry
i think i would. i mean you think you love that person now but what if you find out you really dont 1.. 5.... 1o year down the line. you don't want it to be messier than it already will be. it wouldnt be fair to either of you if you both worked really hard in life (maybe 1 worked harder) and you still had to split it equally.
thats just my opinion... but i dont know you or your situation

You have to protect yourself. Even if it's saying right now I love you and I want to spend my life with you, but since I cannot predict the future and I do not know what will happen lets be precautious. It doesn't have to say anything about the strength of love. Today so many things go wrong and instead of working things out people just divorce (bitterly). I personally don't believe in marriage (not saying I never will) if I want to be with someone I will be; and I will stay as long as it's a healthy and enjoyable relationship. If said relationship happens to last the extent of my live time I shall consider myself lucky. If marriage should result and a prenup is offered, I would not take that as a statement of intent to keep what's theirs. I would know that it is just so if a breakup does occur, things will be less messy.
[***Edit*** It is not saying that if we fight we should get a divorce. That is why instead of just divorcing the couple should attempt to work things out. Do you automatically think about breaking up with a boyfriend everytime you squabble? I haven't. Just because it is an option doesn't mean that you should be thinking about it everytime. If you are, then you shouldn't be getting married in the first place. Now the solution is not a prenup (it is for some, especially if they have large amount of personal wealth) the solution is taking marriage seriously. One should not enter it lightly. Some have forgotten about this. People need to be smarter about their desicions, and not always take the easy way out. But for some, not all keep in mind, a prenup is a smart choice. If it is not for you, then that is a talk you must have with your potential life mate later.]

Personally, i wouldn't marry that person. If you have to go to such lengths as to get that kind of agreement and you arent already married, that's like expecting it to happen!!! And not all marriages should end in divorce. You should marry somebody you absolutely love and can never imagine getting a divorce. It's not being unrealistic at all. My parents have been happily married for 22 years. So not everybody divorces. Really try to decide if you love this person. But if you don't, reconsider. I hope i helped some. Good luck!!!

Yes I would because if i truly loved the person then i would do anything for them. I know some people do it as a security thing just incase they met the wrong guy they dont have to worry about it but i would If he didnt ask then i wouldnt only if it was his request.

Yes, I would still marry the person. As a realist and a pessimist, I know that marriages most often end in divorce. If and when this happens, you don't want to be screwed because you didn't want to sign a prenup.
