Grateful, Not Regretful: How Prenups Create Peace at the Holiday Table

November is all about gratitude—family gatherings, Friendsgiving spreads, and those “pass the mashed potatoes” moments that remind us what we are thankful for.

But let’s be honest: when families mix with finances, things can get… complicated.

Whether it is nosy relatives asking about your wedding plans or unsolicited “advice” about not needing a prenup, the pressure around the holidays can be a lot.

So let’s clear the air: Prenups do not ruin relationships.

They protect them—from stress, uncertainty, and resentment later down the line.

Let’s Talk Truth at the Table

Here’s something you will not hear between stuffing and pie:

Prenups are not just about divorce. They are about:

  • Clear communication
  • Protecting family legacies
  • Making sure your assets do not become someone else’s liability
  • ❤️ Loving each other enough to plan for the “what ifs”

And yes, they are totally normal—even if your great-aunt thinks otherwise.

Why the Holidays Are Actually the Best Time to Start the Conversation

You are already talking about the future. You are seeing extended family. You are sharing hopes, travel plans, and life goals. Why not add a dose of financial alignment to the mix?

Use this season to check in on questions like:

  • Do we want a joint account, separate accounts, or both? 
  • How do we feel about debt, savings, and long-term planning?
  • What will our financial roles look like in marriage?

Think of it as your emotional and financial pregame before the big day.

Gratitude Looks Like This…

✅ Knowing your future is protected,
✅ Being on the same page before the prenup is ever drafted,
✅ Walking into your marriage with peace, not pressure, and
✅ Saying “yes” to love and logic.
