Couples need to have many important discussions before walking down the
aisle, and the topic of signing a prenuptial agreement can be uncomfortable
for some. Many couples struggle with discussing finances in general, so
adding a layer that’s essentially planning for divorce may be awkward or
even confrontational. However, the outcomes of a prenuptial agreement can
actually be beneficial to both parties.
Prenuptial agreements aren’t just for the super-wealthy. More couples are
choosing to put their financial cards on the table before saying “I do” —
whether it’s because there’s a financial inequality between the couple or
simply to protect themselves in the future. Although it’s not a romantic
conversation, it may be worth having this honest discussion before marriage
depending on your financial situation and relationship history.
