One of the biggest discussions in relationships today revolves around prenuptial agreements. Is it necessary, or should love alone be enough to sustain a marriage? Some argue that signing a prenup means you don’t fully trust your partner, while others believe it's just a smart way to protect oneself from the unknown future. But in today’s world, is love really enough to keep a marriage going?
I don’t know much about how things used to be in the past, but one thing I am sure of is that love alone is no longer enough in a relationship. There are so many other things like trust, understanding and financial security that are needed to be put in place to make it work. Moreover, anything can happen even when someone claims to be deeply in love with you.
On a normal day, I would have said that a prenup wouldn't ’t be necessary and that marriage should be based on unconditional love, and partners should be able to trust each other completely. But then, things are now different from before. We now have so many cases where marriages end in divorce, leaving one partner—usually the man—financially devastated. There have just being alot of men who worked hard for so many years to build their wealth, only for their wives to walk away with half of everything when the marriage ended. Some even end up moving on to another man once they have being able to reach their aim which is actually very unfair.
There was a recent story about Pep Guardiola.. He was married to his wife for 30 years. Throughout those years, he worked so hard as a football coach and earned so much money for himself and his family. He owned several properties and wealth. But then after three decades together, his wife left him, taking 50% of his wealth. Now, imagine working tirelessly for thirty years, only to lose half of everything you’ve built because someone decided they didn’t want to be in the marriage anymore. Would you be happy with that?? That situation was not just financially devastating for him, it was also emotionally heartbreaking.
Honestly, i dont see choosing to sign a prenup as a big deal. Infact, i believe that having one in place means you’re protecting yourself. Life is unpredictable, and nobody can say for certain what the future holds. What if the person you love today turns into someone you don’t even recognize in ten or twenty years? What if their priorities change? What if they decide to leave, and you’re left picking up the pieces of a broken life and an empty bank account?
For me it's actually very simple. No matter how much I love someone, I still wouldn't want us to get married without signing a prenuptial agreement. I don't care if that makes me look selfish or as someone who doesn't trust his partner. I just can’t dedicate years of my life building wealth, only to have half of it taken away because of a failed marriage. If my partner truly loves me for who I am, then they should have no problem signing a prenup. If they refuse, that’s a major red flag, and to be honest, we simply won’t be getting married.
