| Wedding ~ Do You Need A Prenup Agreement? |
Hello,
Tighten your seat belt because it's another emotional therapy time on Advice Corner.
Last week, I heard an engaged couple arguing about getting a prenup agreement prior to their wedding.
The groom-to-be is an entrepreneur with assets and a sizable bank account and the bride-to-be is out of work and has no money. But she sacrificed a lot by leaving her family & friends to move across continents to be with him. So, the guy wanted his bride-to-be to sign a prenup. She was upset, furious and rightly so in my opinion.
For those who don't know, a prenup is a marital agreement that states what will happen in case a couple gets divorced.
To me, getting a prenuptial agreement before you get married is the craziest thing ever!
Are you out of your mind?
For engaged couples who feel the need to get this document signed in case they get divorced in the future, I say have a rethink.
2. You are not ready to SHARE all your worldly goods with your life partner.
3. Material things are of great concern to you more than the need to take a leap of FAITH with the person you say you want to spend the rest of your life with.
4. You have serious doubts about your ability to stay and battle through tough times ahead.
5. You are a fair-weather spouse and therefore unreliable.
6. The LOVE you have for your spouse is not DEEP enough and it is questionable.
7. The prenup is your get-away card from your marriage.
The moment you sign the agreement, your brain, already wired for escape, caves in when tough times pop up because you know you will walk away with your wealth intact. Before long, you are walking into marriage number three or four.
8. Lastly, it indicates, you see an end date for your marriage.
Honestly, if you still have the urge to get a prenup agreement before your wedding day, you should NOT get married.
Try my emotional therapy tips on my Advice Corner and you will see deeper bonds form between you and your wife/husband through God's grace.
Are you out of your mind?
Marriage is not to be taken lightly. If you cannot trust your fiancé/fiancée to stay with you forever, or if you think your partner can ruin your finances in the future, then end your engagement now!
For engaged couples who feel the need to get this document signed in case they get divorced in the future, I say have a rethink.
Whether or not you agree, Prenup casts a dark cloud around your marriage.
In my opinion, a prenup contract is a double-edged sword that will eventually hurt your marriage. Most likely, you will get divorced because you wished for it by signing the prenup agreement before your wedding even began.
Listen! On your wedding day, you vow to love each other till your lives end. You exchange wedding rings as a symbol of a love that knows no end.
Then, how can you also sign a document that states that in case your marriage fails, you will leave with your own wealth????
That's crazy! I don't care how rich one of you is, if you feel the need to sign a prenup:
Let me tell you what it implies;
1. You do not TRUST your partner.
3. Material things are of great concern to you more than the need to take a leap of FAITH with the person you say you want to spend the rest of your life with.
4. You have serious doubts about your ability to stay and battle through tough times ahead.
5. You are a fair-weather spouse and therefore unreliable.
6. The LOVE you have for your spouse is not DEEP enough and it is questionable.
7. The prenup is your get-away card from your marriage.
The moment you sign the agreement, your brain, already wired for escape, caves in when tough times pop up because you know you will walk away with your wealth intact. Before long, you are walking into marriage number three or four.
8. Lastly, it indicates, you see an end date for your marriage.
Honestly, if you still have the urge to get a prenup agreement before your wedding day, you should NOT get married.
Flip the coin for a minute. If your partner is richer and wants you to sign a prenup, how will you feel?
Finally, remember you cannot say the words, 'I do' with an expiration date for your marriage in mind.
I hope you connect emotionally with your husband or wife so you can experience a more fulfilling and loving bliss in your marriage.

Great article. I am speaking as a woman and believe that having a prenup agreement is important if there are minor children involved on either or both sides but I also believe that every woman should have her own money before going into a marriage, and that money that she brings into the marriage is hers even if there is a divorce. As to whether a couple should have a prenup agreement is a personal decision. Since I don’t plan to get married, soon to be 74, I don’t have to worry about this. :)
While I agree with you from a spouse's perspective, I was also a family lawyer for a while. Too many people do not protect their assets going into a second marriage and end up losing big time because of it. The woman in me says to trust your spouse, the lawyer in me says to get the prenup signed
Stella Eromonsere-Ajanaku I would say it depends on several factors. I've never been married, but have a child with ASD. I would want to protect my assets from any future spouse so that my daughter wouldn't be left without. So in some cases, yes I think it would be necessary.
Thank you so much Beverly, for sharing your comments. I was wondering whether signing a Prenup was necessary for a first Wedding. But you have answered my question. I'm very grateful. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you so much Vivienne. I believe every woman should have her own money. But signing a prenup is not my cup of tea. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts. I'm very grateful. Have a great weekend.
