I personally want one..but haven't discussed it yet. I don't think it puts a negative sping on marriage at all... I just think better safe then sorry, you never know what could happen, but thats just my opinion. I do understand how it can cause some people to get upset.. thats exactly why I haven't said anything to the FH about it!

Its a little strange talking about that sort of thing. Any lawyer would say to DO IT but I'm mixed on it too. I think prenups work for couples where 1 of the 2 of them have a lot of assets (think business or property owner) and the other doesn't. To me, thats when it makes more sense.
If both people are on similar pages financially I don't think its so necessary. Plus god forbid a marriage ends in divorce, if the assets 2 people bring to the table are similar, they're not gonna suddenly grant 1 of them a ton of money out of nowhere.

Which is why FH & I are not getting one.![]()
I think I am going to get one. At this point we don't have much but I know that in the future I will be making a pretty decent amount more than he will so that's an issue for me. I also have a trust fund that I don't really want anyone else to have access to since I'm sure that wouldn't be what my parents would want either. I don't know, it's a hard subject to talk about it my opinion but I have seen a lot of people get screwed over during divorces so like many other people have said, I would rather make decisions now when we are ok than in the future when things may not be so good.

We are not getting one. However, Im not opposed to it at all. When you have alot of personal affects that you worked hard for (like homes cars money) I could totally understand wanting to secure it. Would it be different if you were asking for it? FH & I own our own things seperately & now we are venturing into things together. But why shouldnt we secure our own things? It doesnt damper your marriage its not about possibly getting divorced because FH & I are together for over 5yrs & I know we will make it. I think its just about security. Its all in how you look at it.
We will not get one, because we don't have a super lot of money. FH seems to think he's a Rockefeller compared to me, so teases that we should do it, but it's not going to happen.
I'm getting one. FH already knows and he's not in love with the idea but understands that I'm coming into the marriage with certain assets to protect. Now I just have to work up the nerve to talk to the Trusts and Estates department in my law firm and get the ball rolling........
We're not and we wont do one. I feel like people that ask for one are expecting it to fail

I think pre-nups are a good idea. Honestly, if i had a job making 150,000 a year, i wouldn't want my ex-husband to take half of that. I feel that in certain situations, it could save a whole lot of people the hassel of going through a messy divorce. We've talked about getting one..but if we'll actually take the time to do it..thats another story. I don't think we'd have a lot to lose if we did.
