I don't like the prenup since it is a sign of distrust to the marriage. It is just like sign up a contract rather than a marriage. Although some people are rich and they are afraid of their spouses marry them for the money. But it is still unfair to sign up the prenup because you choose to get married.

I would rather marry a man without a penny than marry a rich man who'd ask me to sign a prenup. Marriage is a union between two people who are not just physically attracted to each other but two people who truly and sincerely love each other. And when you are in love with the person, you are willing to sacrifice your all and all, not just your money but even your own life if needed. Now if the man I'd marry can't even trust me with his riches then I don't think I'd pursue the marriage. How can I be happy with a man who can't even trust me with his wealth? I won't marry that kind of guy...no way!
I'd just tell him to go and marry his riches.

salonga, if I was a rich man and you thought of me that way I would no way want to marry you. You sound greedy and grasping and I would not trust you with my love. Wealthy people often have a business to support and other family who they would like to make provision for.
Why some people see a pre-nuptial agreement as a negative thing is strange to me. This sort of agreement ensures a fair and equitable and agreed upon division of assets. It looks after everyone. Anyone who sees it as a trust issue or a negative issue is not in the right place.

Ms.Tickle you are funny! How could you consider me greedy and grasping when I would even marry a poor man than a rich man who can't even trust me with his wealth? If you know how to read between the lines, it only shows how immaterial money is to me. What I want is trust and not the money because if I choose to marry a penniless guy who trust me so completely over a rich man who can't do so where is greediness then?
Anyway, don't you worry because never in my wildest dream would I ever marry you if you were a man because I can't really fall in love with anyone who thinks of protecting his asset from his wife and thinking so ahead of time regarding properties and divisions of such. If a man has that thinking then he is actually the greedy one. You told me I am greedy and grasping because of my opinion about pre nup? Well dear on the other hand I feel it is the other way around. 
.
Husband and wife is one flesh so what is his is hers is his and vice-versa. It is not greediness to demand this because this is how God has ordained marriage that way. It does not mean the wife or the husband who demands complete trust is after the money my dear. It is not actually the money involve but rather the trust that your fiancee is already depriving from you. Pre nuptial agreement is always negative to me and that is my opinion. This is not because I am after the money of my other half but because I want a husband who could trust with just about everything about his life just as I would do to him.
I've seen many couples who did not sign pre-nup but that did not deprive them of the chance to help and support relatives or any persons that need help so I don't really believe that is is all about having other family to support but it is all greediness on the part of the person who owns more. It is just one thing. It is the love of money which is the root of all evil. The person who has more loves his/her money more than his/her fiancee.

When you marry into a family with old wealth you might understand it better. When you are talking 100's of millions or even billions of dollars you have to respect the rest of your family. And actors that are making milllions of dollars a movie may want to keep part of it for their old age. The percentage of actors divorces is huge. In alot of divorces a partner would usually get half of what was accumulated during the marriage. When there is alot of money involved a marriage becomes a business propesision as well as a marriage. Hard for a person to fathom because the average person does have that kind of money to worry about.

If the "young girl's" attitude is that she is "sacrificing her youth" then I feel she is a gold digger or marrying for the wrong reasons for sure.
Celtic is right. The family must be protected and respected, that's only natural. If a prospective partner disagrees with that then they are very greedy selfish people.

I'm your polar opposite. I wouldn't marry without a prenup. It protects both parties if it is written well. He gets to keep his assets and so does she! If things do go wrong , there is less of a war. But then again I wouldn't trust a husband in the first place!

Most of the riches and the people who is the higher society do this because of security reason. The content of a prenuptial agreement can vary widely, but commonly includes provisions for division of property and spousal support in the event of divorce or breakup of marriage. I think this is not important if the love in the marriage is present. If they love each other so much assets are not necessary be an issue.

I think it is required in some cases, espcially if there is even a thought that someone might be in the marriage for more than the love. But, I feel if one person does the prenup, the other should fill one out too to help it make it more like a bond of equality.
