No, I would be pissed. I mean you'll marry me, but you don't love me enough to trust that I won't steal all your money. come on that is like a subject to clause. That is stupid. He should not marry her if he really doesnt know her or trust her.

i got your point, what if he's just thinking of his kids? because i have a friend, and he is 50 years old, and he has 3 children.. but hes divorced. and he told me that if he will get married again, their should be a prenuptial agreement.. his reason for doing prenuptial agreement for his kids.. and maybe he has the point also.. because hes a physician in New JErsey..
i really do appreciate your response.. more power to you.

I still don't know. Yeah maybe if your that old. But I still think you should know the person well enough to trust them.

Personally, i really don't care. If it is a proof that i don't need my wife's money then i'll sign a prenuptial agreement. If my wife trusts me, then prenuptial agreement is not important right? So i guess it really doesn't matter for two people in love. It's like me eating my pride and my wife giving her full trust to me. I hope you get my point because it's really important. In simple terms, it means either of the two won't matter. Signed on not.

I couldn't imagine wanting to marry someone that either I didn't trust enough or didn't trust me. It's like saying "yes lets get married. But hey we are gonna divorce so lets settle it now!" If I marry it will be for life and I hope that the other person will feel the same.

I think its mostly for those who have been married and divorced and have had a bad experience in life. These are the types who are once bitten, twice shy. For a . couple, trust and marriage are important, but when hurt and separated, this trust is gone. Many are out for the grabs. So in such cases, prenupital agreement seems the wise choice. However, its all very mercenary and untrustworthy. Id like my man to trust me with the money and his love. But then it takes all types to make a world.

exactly, thats why they dont trust anymore.. but my point is, if you really love the person, dont think any negative aspects from the one you want to share the rest of your life.. dont marry her/him if you have doubts, if you dont trust her/him.. right? because its kinda offending to the other side if you will let him/her sign an agreement.. its like you were insulted, cannot be trusted, not worth it..
whew..

In a way yes and in a way no. In a way yes is that you truly have to protect whats urs before u get married cuz now people are only out for money and thats it. In the way no is the fact that u dont trust the in one ur marrying and which trust is one the most things u need for marriage, but now days u dont know what certain people are out for instance, if u won the lottery and no one wanted u before you won the lottery and then you have men or women there to want to be with u after u win so that would be understandable. So yes im in favor of it cuz trust is hard find in anyone anymore.

Prenuptial agreements have always been a very controversial topic for couples. Media portrayals of prenuptial agreements show them as devices that celebrities and other similar high net worth individuals use in order to cap the amount of wealth that an ex-spouse can claim.
However, when carefully planned and used correctly, a prenuptial agreement can be a fair way of disbursing assets and responsibilities
