Prenupts – A Character’s View
By Guest Blogger Brianna Mayfield
 
My name is Brianna Mayfield and I wanted to talk to the readers about prenuptial agreements. I signed a lucrative prenupt with Jake. We’ll both benefit greatly if our marriage fails.  Odd, I know, but you have to read His Invisible Wife to understand the loopholes. Now where was I? Prenuptial agreements are not just for the rich. If you have property such as a home, inheritance property, own your own business, help put a spouse through school, or a spouse helps put you through school, etc. a prenupt might be something you would want to consider. A prenupt protects both parties involved.

Women these days are making just as much (if not more) money than men, so getting a prenupt before marriage isn’t just something to benefit the man anymore. Grant it, the mention of “prenupt” might make a man or woman run away. Especially if they feel that the mere idea of one is a sign that the relationship isn’t as solid as it should be or that the party requesting the other person to sign one doesn’t believe “in their love” enough. A prenupt isn’t personal, it’s business. It’s a way to protect yourself. In the ideal world, “Until death do us part” would be true 100 percent of the time, but unfortunately divorce does happen–especially if relationships are based on false pretenses such as mine and Jake’s.

Do you believe in prenupts? What if you are the one with the money or potential to make a lot of money? Should it be the deciding factor on whether or not you marry? What provisions would you put in your prenuptial agreement?
