If she had more money and wanted me to sign I would. So long as the stipulation what there that if the marriage ended for any reason other than her cheating me I get 60%. And if I had more money I would have her sign one with the same rules. If I get caught cheating her, then I lose 60% hands down. I do not see it as distrust in your spouse, but many who are not deeply vested get married, when they should not have in the 1st place. And for a failed 1.5 year to 3 year marriage to wipe out half of what a person has worked hard for, a business, practice, homes etc. Just doesn't seem logical to me. Specially if the marriage is ending because one person woke up, and realized they were never really in love enough to get married in the 1st place.

Personally, i'd say no. Purely because, if you're going to make the commitment of marriage, then there has to be 100% trust between both parties, otherwise it seems more like a business contract.
However, that is not to say that I don't see the benefit of it for other people, as with reading all previous answers to this question, there looks to be a few people who could certainly have done with one.
I suppose it comes down to personal preference, that and whether you have a lot to lose in divorce!!!! lol

No way! Why get married if you don't have the faith to believe it will last forever? I'm not a fluffy teenager with romantic ideas, I've been married for 10 years and been through hell. My mother in law was a controlling nightmare who tried to undermine my confidence in my hubby, we have 2 demanding kids, we have survived moving away from where we were brought up, financial hardship, an affair......sure there have been times I've felt like walking but I haven't, and we are still together, would like to say totally happy but the affair was recent (and not mine!). It's worth fighting for.

The thing that causes the most distress when couples split up is the dispute over the division of property and this is always discussed at the time of greatest acrimony. So a prenup when things are good between a couple has got to be the sensible thing to do.

Yes. I would sign a prenuptial. Firstly i would want to protect anything i aquired before i was married and secondly it means we both come into a marriage fair and equal partners.What is built after the date of marriage can be split equally then down the middle. but if i built a business before that. why should any1 be entitled to half of that

No, I feel a prenuptual agreement is only asked for by people who don't want a 50/50 relationship.

Absolutely. I've been divorced and its a nasty, upsetting business conducted by two emotionally wrought people.
IF there is a next time it will be done this way as it saves a lot of hassle. Not too is naive, of course people share - but thats when they are together, when they get divorced the daggers often come out and they are not so compromising.

Of course I would and I plan to! With today's society and divorce rate, it's no longer about love or trust and ALL about protecting your ***!!! You can love someone SO much and trust them, that doesn't mean that they can't change in the future, screw you over and then run off with 50% of what you've got!
Take my friend for instance, she is a Doctor, he was still in med school. She helped put him through school, and she was the main income while he was finishing school. They were the PERFECT couple...SO in LOVE! Once he graduated and got a job things changed. He dumped her for a nurse! After 16 years together...8years married!!!! NO ONE would have suspected that to happen...it's like Mickey and Minnie breaking up!
No matter how much you love someone, you should also love yourself. Sign a prenup. A piece of paper shouldn't determine your love or trust for your partner. If they were smart, they'd sign one too!
