No, it is based on a Pink Floyd song. However, you do have a very good chance of getting divorced. Some experts estimate that 50% of marriages end in divorce. That is really not good odds if you think about it.

 
Even if you are deeply and madly in love, prenup is a good option. It's not saying divorce is going to happen, it is just making sure assets are taken care of and that the financial situation will be much easier to handle. Many women want prenups these days too, even when they don't hold the majority of assets.
 
Chris Rock says people think you gotta be rich to get a pre-nup. If you have 10 million and your wife wants five, you're not starving. But if you make 30K and you wife wants 15........
 
No, we didn't. It sounds like a good idea, but just try to bring it up to your fiancee. Come back and report the results.

That's the same arguement she'll give him if he tries to ask for one. "If you really loved me, we wouldn't need a prenup!"
 
I didn't. IMHO, if you feel the need to sign a prenup, you shouldn't marry.

If you think you legally need to protect yourself from someone, he/she isn't the person to spend you life with.
 
im married 16 years. yes, we had a pre-nup. but then we voided it out after a few years of marriage. my thinking being, if after 16 years, she takes every cent ive got, then:
1. i probably deserve it
2. she has earned it after so long, and
3, i dont really care, im not all that attached to stuff anyway. ill just go out and make more $. the last jacket u wear needs no pockets.

I tend to think they only make sense if one person has substantially more assets than the other. If thats not the case, then I think they tend to cause more problems (in the relationship) than they may be worth.

Good luck, and in either case congratulations!

Get one. My boss made that mistake when he got married. Forward 6 months later, he got divorced. He makes a lot more than us, but he's always broke.
