Signing a prenuptial agreement before marriage is the first step towards divorce. Prenuptial agreements are made for marriages where the concern is infidelity, and at its basest level, the worry of a nasty divorce. This shouldn't be a precautionary step in a marriage.

Marriages in today's society are looked on so frugally, with little care over 'til death do we part'. Marriages have become far too lackadaisical, and as such are being broken up over and over again, many times to the damage of small children.

A prenuptial agreement is like putting up the white flag before the battle begins. Marriages are not an easy thing to work through sometimes, especially when the marriage was formed too hastily or on shallow terms. The best defense against divorce is surety before marriage. Take the time to get to know your potential spouse, and once you think you know them well enough to marry them, take more time to learn a couple of the things you missed first time around. And then, take some more time to learn about them. The more you know about your partner before marriage is a good gauge as to how much will surprise you when you are married.

And be honest with each other. If you are holding things back, and being dishonest, eventually those things will come out, usually at the most stressful of times. That is a large part of what causes divorce: dishonesty. In fact, that is probably the most common basic cause of divorce.

So, instead of signing a prenuptial agreement, take some time to get to know your partner before marriage, be honest, and build a trusting, faithful, loving, wonderful relationship from the bottom up. If your relationship is built right, and you both are dedicated to each other and to making the marriage work, no prenuptial agreement will be necessary.
