What Do You Think Of Prenuptual Agreements?

How old are you? LOL You don't see anything fundamentally wrong with the rich, getting paperwork to ensure that they can get a divorce as soon as they feel the marriage isn't working out? How do you think the poor in that scenario you cooked up would feel?
: if you have the attitude that "oh, I'll get a pre-nup, so I can get a divorce asap if it doesn't work out"... guess what? You're not gonna get anybody to marry you for love, because nobody's gonna love a dick like that. The only people you get marrying you will be out for your money, lol.
Urgh. You must be 12, though, right? Just tell me you're 12, and I'll leave you alone about it.

I'm 31, and yes it would be better for both sides you know why? If the rich man didnt have a prenup and the marriage didnt work out, the fucked up marriage could drag on and it would torture both of them. Why on earth should you NOT get one, why should the rich man have to worry about getting a divorce when he feels the marriage isn't working out? Your there for love right? and when there is none, why should you stay?
As for the poor person, well you are very wrong, you ACTUALLY would be sure that the person is marrying you for LOVE and not money because you got a prenup and you know for sure that the person is not out for your money.
Just Another Sunny day in California:
worst idea ever, but it's sad fact that in today's society there are some women or men who only want money from their marriage
Matrix Heart:
Ok lets say hypothetically Bill Gates wasn't married and was living in California.
Should he have his future wife sign a prenup?
Under California law he would lose 50% of his wealth in one night 20 Billion <that's alot of quarter billions :o
I'd have my wife sign a prenup if I had sport money...shit I probably wouldn't marry ;D
OpTiCaL:
i personally think the idea of a prenup goes against what traditionally marriage is supposed to mean between 2 people,
you say something along the lines in sickness & heath....basically whatever comes you love each other and do the best you can by that other person, sometimes even forsaking yourself and others for them, not sure if that sounds too hard but i believe if you love someone enough to make that step and take those vows and make that lifelong commitment then there shouldnt be a what if security blanket where they or one of them is trying to protect their own needs...
...if they already thinking there may be a problem causeing them to split in the future...
...then perhaps marriage isnt the best action for them.
No matter what / who they are / what they possess marriage should be something you are as sure as can be about
