It may seem counterintuitive to think of prenuptial agreements as a relationship building tool. However, the one you are about to marry is probably the closest person to you in your life. You have been through a lot together, shared your secrets, hopes and dreams. When it comes to discussing a premarital agreement, you have to ask yourself: can I truly discuss anything in the world with this person I love?

Honest, open discussion probably helped foster the depth of your relationship in the first place. A candid conversation about what is important to you, even in the context of an eventuality you hope will never come to pass, can serve to build on the solid foundation you have already established. Future spouses can confront their worst fears and come out of it closer than ever.

It starts the marriage out by preparing for divorce. Understandably necessary in some instances, but I can't imagine how a foundation of distrust would ever make anything stronger.

It's a reminder that law has overshadowed marital vows. Too many people get married with the intent to make it work, but divorce has become so easy, some just give up and expect the law to split assets not earned. I've seen several couples separate after only a few years and one spouse still expects half. The old laws on the books meant to protect the stay at home mom need to be revisited now that women are overwhelmingly working.

If you need a pre-nup to get married you shouldn't tie the knot in my opinion.
