Today me and a group of people had a discussion where most young men felt that their wives should sign a prenup. Whereas, the young ladies felt that a prenup is not needed. I personally do not believe that a prenup should be apart of a marriage.
I feel a marriage should be looked like as a joining of souls and not a joining of incomes. But marriage is no longer looked at as that and it is now looked at as a business investment.
A prenup to me makes me feel like 1 party or both parties do not expect the marriage to work. If either parties have that mentality they should not get married. It also means that our relationship is not one and that we are separate. If we are separate in marriage it forces us to view our relationship as whats mine is mine and whats yours is yours.
Now I know some people are shady and are only after certain people for their money so some people think a prenup is necessary. But I simply believe that if you know that person is with you for your money than don't marry them. Sometimes relationships fail and more than likely a partner might have to pay some form of support to the other partner. I know this might not be fair but most payments last for a while. You just have to realize that sometimes you have to pay to get rid of some people for the rest of your life.
Some people also say that most people today do not marry solely for love. If you are scared that if you and your partner get divorced you will get raw end of the deal then you should look for a partner who is on your same level financially so you both can try to come off even.
While I don't believe in prenups a lot of people do and to those people I suggest either don't get married or marry someone you truly love and have a connection deeper than finances with.

in my opinion i would get a prenup..im not saying that the marriage is not going to work but if i feel as though im being a good wife & your not i would want to make sure im good in the long run
ReplyDeletethats true but you know some peoples qualities before you get marriage and pre nups deal more with money than personal attributes
ReplyDeleteI think a prenup agreement should be made if a divorce shall happen, not at the beginning of a marriage. Just because you have one doesn't mean he doesn't trust you. Its a hard subject to tackle
