What are your thoughts on prenuptial agreements?

Is it a question of trust? Or is it just for practicality's sake? Would you ever sign one?

I do not see anything wrong with it and with all the golddiggers all around I see why people have to be careful. When I marry I will marry for love, never for money so I would not have a problem at all signing such a thing. I do see how some people might consider it a lack of trust and it might be - but i do not blame people for beeing careful.

For me i agree with pre nuptial agreement.Laws around the world vary in their recognition of such agreements. Historically, judges in the United States frowned upon prenuptial agreements as corrupting what marriage was supposed to stand for, and often they would not recognize them. Nowadays they are recognized, although they may not always be enforced. It is common to have legal advice to the effect that both parties should have lawyers present during the signing, for a judge to ensure that neither party has been coerced into the agreement. Prenuptial agreements are, at best, a partial solution to obviating some of the risks of marital property disputes in times of divorce. They are not the final word.

Honestly no, I don’t think that prenuptial agreements are practical and no I would not sign one. I feel like a prenuptial agreement falls under the basis of trust. Not being able to trust that your husband/wife will not leave you with nothing is ridiculous to me! What does that say about our marriage? That we love each other now but then in the end I can’t trust you? I would never sign a prenuptial agreement! If my fiancé ever asked me to I would walk away, because I would feel like he did not trust me and wouldn’t want a marriage based on who gets what in the end!

My mother wanted me to get one when I married my husband. I told her my husband and I aren't planning on getting a divorce. I think it's a way of jinxing your marriage. But if people want to they can I guess.
