Marriage sucks.
Divorce sucks even more.

Huh? Maybe divorce sucks, and perhaps the marriages that ended in divorce - but I see nothing on this thread that insinuates that marriage sucks.

Instead of advising people to get prenups - we should be advising people to put a lot of thought into making sure they are with the right person. If you don't love someone enough to give up everything you have - you shouldn't marry them in the first place. Some posters like to bring up the fact that a prenup is insurance - and that we all get car insurance so it's just the same thing. It's not the same thing. Marrying someone shouldn't be like buying a car. You buy a car - you expect it to last for a few years, many years if you are lucky. When you get married - you should expect it to last for life. Things don't always work out that way - but that is the mindset you should have going into it. If you can't picture yourself with this person 30 years down the line - it's not the right person. If you wouldn't give up every cent to spend your life with this person - it's not the right person. If you aren't willing to be there through thick and thin, sickness and health, for richer or for poorer - it's not the right person. There are no guarantees in life - but getting married should be something that you are more sure of than anything else you've ever done.

And honestly - it's a darn good thing that divorce exists. Sometimes people make mistakes. That's just how life works.

If you are involved in a car accident and there is substantial personal injury, a very unfortunate situation, large sums of money will be involved.

If you are in a marriage that falls apart 10 years into it, and it was going strong at 7 (the "itch"), and there is an income stream and children, large sums of money will be involved.

What's the problem? Most people write estate plans and file them away. People should just write up prenups and file them away, too.

Because people are not cars.

Hey - if you want to have a prenup - nobody is stopping you.

I do not view my husband in the same way as I do driving a car. My car is an inanimate object. My husband is the love of my life.

prenup dont leave home without it.

who told you turning all assets over to the woman was a right of marriage?

Look buddy - show me where in the heck I said anything about being a real man. Get off your bitter train and look at what I wrote. I didn't even mention genders. My point is that there would be few divorces if people took marriage more seriously. If you are already thinking about divorce - you aren't marrying the right person.
