Alright lovebirds—class is officially in session. ✏️
August has that fresh start energy. Back-to-school shopping, new planners, and a whole lot of Pinterest boards filling up with wedding inspo. But before you book the florist or finalize your seating chart, let’s hit pause and go back to the basics.
Because if you are planning a marriage, there is one subject you definitely do not want to skip: Money 101. But more specifically… Prenup 101.
Wait, What Even Is a Prenup?
Let’s break it down. A prenuptial agreement (a.k.a. prenup) is a legally binding contract that couples sign before marriage. While most believe it only to be useful to protect against divorce (which it does), a prenup is especially important because it outlines what happens financially during the marriage.
It covers things like:
- Property ownership,
- Debt responsibility,
- Business + management,
- Spousal support,
- Retirement assets, and
- Investment + saving expectations
Think of it as a roadmap. A roadmap to set course for a clear, transparent, honest marriage with set expectations and goals.
Why Every Couple Needs to Learn This
Look, no one teaches you this stuff in school. But maybe they should. Maybe financial premarital counseling should be mandatory.
Because skipping this convo leads to:
- Financial resentment,
- Confusion about who owns what,
- Courtroom drama if things do not work out, and
- And worst of all: the feeling that you did not protect what you worked so hard for
Couples who create prenups are not cold hearted—they are conscious.
