God said until death do you part! i’m very skeptical about prenuptials. i don’t think you should marry under oaths and then have prenuptials just in case. God said until death do you part!

I was using the term loosely to refer to a verbal agreement between the engaged couple about how they plan to manage their finances. While I don't believe that couples who decide to sign a legal contract that outlines what will happen to assets in the event of a divorce are necessarily planning to divorce, I agree with you that a formal legal contract isn't necessary or even practical for every couple. But having a conversation about money issues before marriage and making an agreement about how finances will be managed is a good way for couples to break the ice when it comes to money conversations. Thanks for your input!
