No idea what a Pre-nup is?? Here's a quick excerpt from wikipedia:

Simply put, "Cause when she leave yo' ass she gon' leave with half" goes out the window if you got one up before you got married. Depending on the laws of the land, a Prenuptial agreement is a binding contract stating what can and can't be done in case of a divorce.

So question to you is: Would you and your spouse draw up a Pre-nup before your marriage??

Feel free to add more thoughts than just answering the question if you want.

Well, considering I have no intention of marrying until I'm absolutely positive that my partner will be faithful - "til death do us part" - I will not write a prenuptual arrangement. I think that it makes marriage less like a sacrament and more like a business arrangement; it takes some of the sanctity away, along with the feeling that this one will last forever.

right, right. just like the one Kia commercial "in this day in age.... dont like your spouse? get a new one. what happened to standing by your decision?"
anymore, the divorce and re-marry rates are way up, as compared to the day when you really where together "till death do you part".

i dont think i would personally, as i agree with divine_punishments first sentance. but then again, i suppose you could never be too careful. if i had like a super owning car, like a ford GT, or something else that ment a lot to me and a mean divorce happened in whitch she would try to take it, i would probably be a jack and torch it. even if i go to jail, sho woudnt get my toys but it all can be avoided if you just "stand by your decision" in the first place.

I would think that if Solking and I made a prenup before getting married it will create some trust issues. I don't really know much about a prenuptial agreement as they are not used in England so there isn't any need to know. All that I can gather from a movie I've seen is that a prenup protects yourself from getting ripped into marrying someone because they love you for say, your money. Yet if you don't want her to have any part in getting your money, then you can get a prenupt. I hope I am right about this.

If so then it also ruins our "what is mine, is yours" saying/agreement/plan. In a relationship where you plan to marry, it should be because you love them dearly and like Divine said, till death to you part. Marriage is about the commitment to another person, but where you want to protect your personal belongs... it really does create so many boundaries in the relationship.

Please correct me if any of the information I have given is incorrect.

Ahhhh well if Solking wants to write a prenup then I will if he wants to. But still it does look like it will create trust issues. I trust Solking with everything I have, it might seem like I am blinded by love but its better to be blinded by love then to be blinded by selfishness.

Here in Portugal we dont have Prenup either, but for exemple; I am my father's heiress lands, and all this lands are in my name if i get marry these lands will still be mine, only mine unless i would agree make some kind of last will to put in name of my family(me and hasbund). if we dicide to get a divorce we only going to divide all we gain together during the marriege... no need Prenup!!

You don't need one as long as you have the better lawyer.lol No actually the only time that one would really be needed is when one of the two people who are getting married has assets before the marriage. Like a house or money accounts that are in their name only. But if you both have nothing then everything that you make or acquire during the marriage should be split.

As for drawing one up before the marriage, well I can say that I didn't. But I had proof of what was mine before we got married. So when we split I got back or equal to what I had before. I doubt that I will remarry again but if I do then I will really consider doing it. I don't want to go through that mess ever again if I can.

Well if you just live together for a few years then you wouldn't have to go through all of that. You just need to be smart about it and not jump in without thinking. But if you find that someone you want to marry it is best to talk it out before anything happens. That way you can get a feel of how they feel about something like that without hurting their feelings or trust in you.
