It is important to enter a marriage from a cautious perspective. Love is a crazy thing. However, there are too many people these days who abuse marriage. Many times, it is only for money. I know because I have seen it myself. There are other issues, but the fact remains that we as people need to protect what we have because no one is ever what we think. Very rarely are first impressions correct. And furthermore, if you worked your whole life to acquire the luxuries of success, are you going to want to gamble that on something as unpredictable as another person? I'm not saying everyone will agree, because some people really have good intentions in marrying their significant other. But I do think a prenuptial agreement is in the majoritys' best interest. Life is too unpredictable not to be prepared when you could be.
