What is a Prenup and Why Do Prenups Ruin Marriages?

DO PRENUPS RUIN MARRIAGES?

A criticism often leveled about prenups is that they are “unromantic.”

Well, perhaps, but so is purchasing car insurance. The difference is that driving without car insurance is illegal, not to mention foolish.

The same could be said of taking the marital plunge without a prenup. While prenups aren’t required, like other types of insurance, the fact is that if your marriage gets into a metaphorical car wreck later on, not having a prenup to fall back on will make for one unhappy (to be read “expensive”) divorce.
