So, you found the love of your life.
Magic and sparks fly. The stars seem brighter. The mornings seem easier to rise, even without the morning cup of joe. This person is your every-day valentine. Every day that passes you know that it is meant to be forever. You save up your month’s salary for shiny finger candy, to be able to pop the question. And, when you do pop that question, fireworks appear.
Congratulations! You are on the way to walking down the aisle of your believed happiness.
A bit before the big dance, it hits you – What if this doesn’t work? What do I do? How do I protect myself? How do I not lose everything I worked so hard for?
If you aren’t thinking about these questions, then you need to take a moment to reflect on it. More than 52% of marriages fail. You’re not alone. It happens. Whether personalities clash, or your partner decides to nail everything with a heartbeat, you need to foresee the possibility of protecting yourself.
A prenuptial agreement is a great way of protecting yourself.
The outlining of personal property, accounts, including retirement, earnings, spousal support (alimony), and debts that come into the marriage, requires each side to be open and honest about their tangible and financial posture. In many cases, having a prenuptial is done with the idea that it will never be needed. It’s an insurance policy to avoid the disaster that happens to way too many people.
If you are stargazing into your partner’s eyes, then keep your feet on the ground by making sure you are protecting yourself with a prenuptial agreement.
