Would you get a prenuptual agreement before getting married? Why or Why not?
I'm just asking hypothetically (for now).

I think it secures your assets, and gives anyone who would marry just for the money a reason to not get married. Even if you never plan on getting a divorce, you won't be at any loss assuming you stay together. I think it is a prudent decision, although a touchy subject to bring up.

I think it's a good idea. To me it does not mean that I don't love the other person or vise versa. It also does not mean that we plan to divorce someday. It's a safety net for both parties. I've heard a lot of people say they would get offended if their significant other asks them to sign a prenup, but honestly, if someone refuses to sign one, it's not because they are offended, it's because they want half in the event that things go wrong in the marriage. Yes, people should marry for love. But you have to agree that marriage is also a business agreement in a way. When you decide to build a life with someone, money is a big issue, and there's no getting around that. I believe money is the number one thing that married couples fight about. The issue of money will always arise in a marriage, and it will start from the moment you plan your wedding.

I have a prenup, mainly because my husband has kids from a previous marriage.
It a good thing to have one, just because we live in uncertain territories, today everyhting is good and dandy, but when things get hot and heavy, it's not pretty.
Let's say that ur millionare, would you have a prenup? of course you will, you'll never know what's going to happen.
And I'm sure you know that the main reason for today's diverces is becuase of money, whethere you're rich or not. Money problems takes a marriage downhill, if it's not treated in time and with counciousness.
Look at what's happenning to jessica Simpson, try to guess why Donald Trump has a prenup...
Love is beautiful, but in a divorce money prevails.
It's sad, but true.
Best of luck

You need to wait to get married until you are sure. It depends on how you view marriage. If you look at it with divorce as an option then you might. But if you feel that marriage is sacred and you hold true to your vows (Til death due you part) then you don't have to worry about it!

it depends on how different we are on the career path and if she will be working after the marriage. and a prenup can have many many clauses including what the spouse will get in case of a divorce and what is expected in the marriage.

Depends on your assets. If you have more than $250,000 in liquid assets, I would say yes. But you have to approach this subject carefully. It may alienate her. Remember, most women these days are blood sucking, co*k juggling, thunder c*nts. Good luck.

Of course! If you are sure you will remain together for ever, then it shouldn't matter to you. But, if that does not happen, then it is fair to leave the relationship with what is rightfully yours, nothing more and nothing less.

of course no, because when you get married, you became 1, all of his is yours and all of yours is his.. so why sign such contrct? its not a good example of a healthy marrige..

depends on what they are bringing in and what i am bringing in...if they are bringing in more into the marriage then I would sign...If I am bringing in more then i expect them to sign..if things are equal then nobody should sign.
