Doesn't a Premarital Agreement take the romance out of marriage?

Marriage is based on open communication. But the person who first mentions the possibility of a Prenuptial Agreement may receive various reactions. Sometimes your partner may feel that a certain trust has been violated. After initial reluctance, partners may realize that the discussion is actually an indication of a good relationship.

Although these agreements usually address the possibility of divorce, they should also address how your financial affairs will be handled during the marriage. And like it or not, marriage is a business arrangement; it is a civil contract to share everything. We don't expect to enter business agreements or partnerships without working out an agreement.

If you do not have a Prenuptial Agreement , the state will impose an agreement for you in the case of death or divorce. We have all kinds of warning labels on the products we purchase, but there is no warning at the marriage license window that you could be giving away half of your assets or other important financial responsibilities.
