[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is you are signing a lifelong legal contract with someone and you need to evaluate them separate from the love and more as a business partner who you are legally bound to.

Get a pre-nup. If you can’t have difficult talks about finances, domestic work, and expectations, it’s not the person to marry.

You can always come home and mom will take care of you. I don’t care how old, with how many kids, or how badly you messed up, my door is always open and I will help fix it. [/quote]

If you are coming in to a marriage with no assets and he has them, isn’t a prenup not in your favor?[/quote]

Prenups are great for all parties because you have discussions about finances and expectations, and have a contract so if you do divorce, there's no fighting in court.

You can also have a pre-nup that specifies you get pre-marital assets, which is worth negotiating for.

Also a great indicator of a man's character. If his attitude is "the money is all mine and I want things in my favor", you know he's not a great partner. If his attitude is that he wants to make sure you're protected (especially if you'll be staying home with kids), that's good character.

Again, it's like a business. If 2 people started a business and one had more finances to invest while the other had other assets to invest (such as time, expertise, etc) you'd have multiple in-depth discussions and signed contracts about your roles, dividing profits, what happens if you dissolve the business, etc. Marriage is no different.
