DON’T BE NAIVE WITH A PRENUP
Many young people believe that love will carry them through the tough times, including a potential legal dissolution of marriage.
Granted, young lovers about to be married probably want to imagine a divorce as much as the rest of us want to think about our funerals. But like all unpleasant aspects of life, sitting down with your loved one to discuss potential problems down the line can make the transition from marital bliss to separation easier if and when it does happen.
If you and your woman truly do love each other and your relationship is strong, you should both be mature enough to sit down together to countenance the possibility of the marriage not working out somewhere down the line, and to then put down in writing what will happen if that comes to pass.
Better now, over coffee and with love in your eyes, than later, in a courtroom, before an angry judge who just wants to finish your case so he can get in some time on the links.
