I have never been personaly in a divorce, but yes I've been party to my parents divorce (mom+dad, and my dad+stepmother) and I have had numerous friends get divorced, so I don't need a lecture on how emotions play into divorce, casue that is exactly what "brings out the worst" in ppl. But if you go into marriage with the "I don't want to get screwed" attitude, then it's off to a bad start already. No mattter what you say, if someone is presented with a prenup from the get go, it's planted in their mind already that the other person really isnt committed, and there are trust issues, just the way it is. If you are that uncertain about the future spouse and stability of the marriage, why bother? Seriously. It's cheaper and less headache to go through. Cause in the front end with something like prenups emotions are still involved, plus your telling the other person that you already do not trust them or have faith in the marriage, neither add to marriage longevity. I say if your not ready to have a marriage without a prenup, your not rdy for marriage. But thats my opinion.
