Only time a prenup should be used is when one partner's assets function more as a "business" than as "stuff" or "savings."

follow the advice here. You won't need the prenup until the 2nd wife.

Before committing to marriage, read this and make sure you understand what it means to love someone -

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

agreed. I've always seen prenups as a wife #2 type thing not a 25 year old getting married a first time.

If I was in the OP's shoes and I had significantly more assets (>100k) I would definitely consider it. I don't think this thread is that ridiculous.

It seems like the op is coming around after going on a fact finding mission. If, after reading this thread, you feel the need for a prenup (in a fairly similar situation), then I don't even know what to say.

Yeah, but we're talking about half of 50k. Like a well equipped Camry. If she is horrible human being and ends up costing you a Camry in the process, pretty sure you'll be fine and more likely not to make same mistake again.
