If you are considering the prospect of marriage or you are already engaged and would like to discuss the matter of creating a prenuptial agreement with your future spouse, this can be a difficult matter to approach. Prenuptial agreements are often seen as romance killers and a sign that there is a lack of faith in the marriage. However, a prenuptial agreement does not mean you believe you will eventually divorce. It simply provides some peace of mind for both parties, ensuring they will be protected if they ultimately call it quits.
Asking Your Future Spouse for a Prenuptial Agreement
If you want to create a prenuptial agreement, it is crucial to bring this matter up as soon as possible. Most people do not react well when important issues are brought up at the last minute. Your partner will appreciate having plenty of time to process this request, starting things off on the right foot.
Here are some additional tips for discussing the prospect of a prenuptial agreement with your future spouse:
- Make sure your partner understands that this can be a collaborative process. The two of you can work together to create a prenuptial agreement that is suitable for both party’s needs and goals. It can set your partner’s mind at ease to know this can be a joint effort.
- Emphasize the fact that your desire to create a prenuptial agreement does not mean you do not believe the marriage will succeed. Creating a prenuptial agreement is about protecting your respective assets and property.
- The process of creating a prenuptial agreement can help spouses understand each other better and what they value most. Discuss these benefits with your future spouse and how it can help your marriage.
Having this conversation with your partner is an important step in your relationship. If you both decide to move forward, contact an attorney to get started on creating this legal document.
