You know what they say about assuming....and actually she does make more than enough that a pre nup probably wouldn't be a bad idea.


And again...it was HIS idea....so in my eyes...he was far from being a 'self important asshole'

let's face it...in this day and age...marriages don't last like they used to and divorce proceedings sometimes last longer than the marriage. And they tend to bring the ugliness out of people...at least I think they are looking at reality on both ends and trying to find a way thru should they have to go down that road.

No one should ever have to think about going down that road but with a 50/50 chance that you might, get it on the table and pack a canteen.....

I think their chances are actually better than 50/50. I know that the "50% of all marriages end in divorce" statistic gets thrown around a lot, but even if it is accurate, you have to remember that it includes people like my friend who is on his fourth marriage. Between him and me as it currently stands, 60% of all marriages end in divorce.

I think the odds on a first marriage are indeed better than 50/50.

Very true. My aunt's got her claws sunk in to #5. Well, actually marriage #5, but guy #4. She married and divorced the same guy twice.

I have always said there should be a law after 2. Everyone is allowed one mistake, but 3, 4, 5 mistakes! Come on, we are not all Liz Taylor.

What difference does it make? If you're not #6 , why should it matter how many times Jack or Jill has been married? (Unless, of course, you're about to marry Jack, who has been divorced five times, and he hasn't told you about it. In that case, I can see the benefit of having a disclosure law, but that's another thread.)

I didn't realize that the Catholic church won't marry a couple who has a pre-nup. That's interesting... I wonder what the Scientologists think.

You'll love how I told my little that I was getting a divorce, then. She had moved, and I was in her city, so I gave her a call and asked, "Hey, who took the bets on how long our marriage would last?" She protested, and I responded, "I know someone did - we've always done that." Again, she protested, so I said, "Look, K, we may have a winner...."

My sister-law and brother-in-law had a bet that my husband and I wouldn't make it to our wedding date. Then they bet that we wouldn't make it to our 5th anniversary. Well- we made it to both, but they are now divorced. Karma's a bitch sometimes.

as long as they have been together and all that they have been thru...I personally hope they are that one couple that stays together...period....hehehe

All well and good, but the last statistics I saw showed that 80% of couples who live together over a year prior to marriage end up divorced. I really would have thought it was the other way around.

I'd go for the pre-nup, and not limit it. Donald Trump limited his pre-nup to Marla Maples to five years, and he filed with one month left of the five years. It's always better to know where you stand before a marriage before the family law attornies ending up with ALL of the money!
