There are a sign of people knowing that things can change over the course of a person's life and a protection of personal and especially family assets against the divorce process.
Prenups are worthless, they often get thrown out by judges. Your best bet as a man is to simply not get married. You do not need a legal contract to have a good relationship.
People fail to realize prenups only protect you from things you own prior to the marriage. Example. If I got some hoe drunk enough to marry me she wouldn't be able to take my Escalade, though if we buy a CTSV during marriage(even if it's solely in my name) it's fair game when we split and share assets.

Not necessarily people just fail to read the fine print; only thing I think is bullshit is alimony. Luckily I live in a state where alimony is considered bullshit (in most cases).Â
I personally would never go into a marriage with a prenup, but every situation is different. If I was some hot shot millionaire and I know the smoking hot woman I'm about to marry is likely in it for the money, I'd probably want the prenup.

 If the thought comes up, that means she is not trustworthy enough.  It only makes sense if you have a lot of stuff.  Dont get married, common law marriage says that after three years you are automatically married.  But that is a long time to find out if you want to be with that person for the rest of your life.  Most people end up breaking up with someone way beforehand.  Kind of a sad thing when you think about it.  Luckily I never had to deal with that, which can be both good and bad.

Actually it is. The divorce rate is very high and things can and do change.
[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]More like a lack of faith in the relationship.foxhound_fox
Or an understanding of the human condition rather than blindly presuming they are something they aren't.
once youre old enough to form a meaningful bond with another person, having a prenup in the background you are showing little faith in the relationship..

I didn't realize you needed a government contract to have a "meaningful bond" with a significant other

if its not sanctioned in the eyes of the lord and state then its not a relationship worth having

Pathetic. You dont need the approval of the legal system to lead a happy relationship
I dont know much about prenups, but are there clauses where if the person with the wealth abuses or hurts the other person, the other person gets something in the divorce? I'm assuming that not all prenups are black and white.
Marriages dont necessarily deserve trust either. There are so many divorces now, people change and things happen. Assuming you live to like 60-70 years old on average and get married in your twenties or early thirties, that's half your life you are committing to someone you've known for only a couple of years. It's ridiculous to assume people wont change and that you truly know how everybody will act in unforseen circumstances. The person you fell in love with may not be the same person later on in life, and sometimes you want to protect your money if it's large in quanitity.

I didn't realize you had to be "old enough" to form a meaningful bond with someone.... Â What's the age limit on that? Â I did it as a child!

That's not how prenups work.

In a prenup, you basically set the terms for the dissolution of the marriage, if it comes to that, before you get married.
if both parties dont sign willingly and without debate it sure as poo is a sign that at least one of the parties plans on leaving at some point in the future.

It is in your best interest to attain a prenup (or postnup), especially if you are a man. Also, it is well known that there is often a bias against men when it comes to divorce. And given how often marriage ends in divorce, well.... the odds are against you, regardless of sex.
Basically, the odds are that you'll need a prenup, or wish you had one.Â

What is "faith in the relationship" exactly? Faith doesn't account for humans being subject to change. Faith doesn't protect a family business from being destroyed by divorce proceedings (whether there is intent to destroy it or not).
Anyone against prenups isn't paying attention to just what the real deal with marriage is. Getting married without a prenup is basically playing Russian roulette. Most people weren't meant to be with one oerson for most of their lives, the sooner you realize this the happier you'll be.

while i don't have a prenup... it's stupid to have total faith in marriage. people change, situations change, you never know what even you yourself will feel in the future.

Women initiate divorce 2/3 of the time.
Its actually about 90% and some women have the nerve to wonder why so many men are hesitant to get married, LOL!

Then maybe you shouldn't be marrying that person in the first place.
