Prenuptial agreements

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Prenuptial agreements are supposed to be there to protect one's assets during a marriage if one decides to skip out on their significant other.



What is your take on prenuptial agreements? Does the average middle class person use them these days? Or are they still more for the rich and or famous?



Does having a prenuptial agreement degrade from the meaning of marriage at all?

Personally, I think prenuptial agreements are a damn good idea and can save untold problems if things go wrong in a relationship/marriage.

What is your take on prenuptial agreements?

I think it protects both partners and I'm in favor of such agreements.

Does the average middle class person use them these days?

I'm not sure but if they don't, then they should.

Or are they still more for the rich and or famous?

I think it's more prevalent with the rich and famous.

Does having a prenuptial agreement degrade from the meaning of marriage at all?

No I don't think it degrades the meaning of marriage at all.

I think it's an American thing.



You really don't hear about that sort of thing much in the UK.



Well, I don't anyway.

It's not just an American thing, it's pretty common over here as well. I think it's a good idea and I'd go for it if I'm a lot wealthier than my future wife.



I think a lot of people still don't do it for the reason that you're already thinking it will end bad before you're even married. However personally I think it's only fair that you don't have to share any wealth you gained before you were married. If you want to that's fine of course, but you shouldn't be forced.



Does it degrade the meaning of marriage? To me not at all, it's just sort of an insurance for when things go wrong. But then again, I don't get the point of marrying anyway...

I don't just think they're a damn good idea, but they should be mandatory when getting married.
