As far as pre-nups, I am against them.
How can you say to your soul-mate, "I love you" when you are hedging your bets? IMHO a pre-nup trivializes the very reason why a couple is getting married in the first place and reduces love to a feeling when it is actually a doing.
Pre-nups also:
1. Assumes the worst in a marriage.
2. Places a spirit of distrust in a couple (Oh, s(he) may try to take all that I own, so I gotta sign an agreement so that s(he) doesn't steal the shirt off my back).
On the other hand, if a couples's concept love and marriage is reserved for a season only, then a pre-nup may be the best thing for them.
Just my $.25
