well God wants you to be a good steward over what you have and giving it to someone you can't trust would be foolish. And yes you can trust even your spouse the bible says so. Be smart and trust only God protect yurself whats wonderful today may not be tommorrow let your money save you on a rainy day or after a divorce either way you'll be prepared.

No, I honestly don't think God would approve a prenup. Prenups are about protecting your butt. I believe God would rather have you protect your spouse. Prenups also indicate a hint of failure in the marriage. God, did not intend marriage to be a means to an end.
I don't think I would base your decision on God. God giveth and God taketh away honey. Marriage is about a bond shared between two people. If there's money involved, I can imagine everyone out there is telling you to protect yourself and get the prenup. But since you've brought God into the picture, I have this feeling that you haven't joined the greed-filled, it's all about me, need a plan b, society we live in. Once you do that, your lines of skepticism cross and you aren't thinking clearly. Deep down you know what you want to do, you are just looking for some support to back you up on everything everyone thinks you need to do. There is a difference and you need to do what is right for you and your situation.

God expects you to marry someone for life-divorce only because of unfaithfulness or physical abuse. The only reason for a prenup would be if you think your partner would cheat on you and you wouldn't be able to forgive it. In that case you shouldn't marry them anyway. In some states you get to keep what you had coming in to the marriage and split what you gain after marriage. I don't know if there's scripture about this one way or the other.

(Will you take an opinion from an ex-Lutheran who now considers herself Pagan?) Why shouldn't the Eternal approve of anything that helps improve or strengthen a relationship?
ANY kind of pre-nuptual discussion, whether it's classic "pre-Cana conferencing" or "who gets what if we split up", is going to be making you both sit down and do serious thinking about the nature of your relationship. What's important to you both, what are possible deal-killers, where you're going overall, etc.
We were told in the (mandatory) premarital counseling at church that really BIG areas of marriage conflict were money, children, and sexuality. If you've got complicated things like major financial holdings, kids from another relationship, ex-partners, etc., it makes some sense to get details on paper....but IMHO, there should be less emphasis on "this is so I get MY RIGHTS!" and more of "this is so we can be on the same page with each other, for better love and understanding."

I don`t think so,In the first place all that is, is doubting your love will last till death, so WHY marry, And if you love someone enough to marry them why wouldn`t you want to share everything with them?
