I've heard mixed reviews about getting one. Heard its only good if you have a large amount of money and/or assets. What is the OT's take on this?

Yes.

We stated "till death do us part" when we were married. She often informs me that it was a verbal contract, sworn in front of witnesses and she is perfectly willing to kill me to end the contract if needed.

I can't afford a divorce, so I guess death is all I have to offer her, should we split.

If you think you’ve got something worth protecting (inheritance, separate business, etc) then it might be something worth looking in to- otherwise, you can protect your future inheritance in other ways if you’re that concerned. Separate property is separate until you co-mingle funds (use your inheritance as a down payment on a ‘community house’ for example). Is it your first marriage or your second? How old and how established are your careers? There are some good reasons to have a prenup, but generally, I don’t see the point.

Not true. People tend to focus this topic on having assets/money but the flipside of this equation is just as important. I’m talking about debt. It’s extremely likely that one or both of you are going to be bringing debt into the marriage. Do you want to be responsible for paying on what she owes prior to walking down the aisle? When she gets pregnant and decides that she wants to continue to stay at home with the baby you’re going to really be on the hook for paying what she owes. Two of my friends found out shorty before the actual wedding that their future SO’s hadn’t paid taxes in years!

When my parents passed away, we got bills for their funerals. What an amazing gift to receive an inheritance to buy a house with.

You definitely aren’t guaranteed an inheritance- there are sometimes huge expenses to settling an estate, including funeral expenses. Those expenses are generally settled within the estate, but if the estate is in debt at the end, sometimes the heirs have to absorb those debts.

How about this.. Don't get married. Marriage is a contract that only benefits a woman.

Because for most people they are pointless. For the vast majority of people getting married, they don’t bring much into the marriage so a prenup doesn’t protect much unless you inherit money during the marriage, in which case just don’t comingle that with marital property and they can’t touch it. They’re more useful for older folks on their 2nd+ marriage who want to protect assets that will accrue value during the marriage (stocks, real estate, investments, retirement accounts, etc). They can also be useful to protect you from paying alimony.

Separate debts brought into the marriage do not become marital unless you make yourself an obligor, at least in my state. Only debt that accrues during the marriage. Your buddy’s SO debt owed to the IRS wouldn’t attach to him, although I’m not sure I’d want to deal with that either if I were him because I’m sure she was wanting him to help her pay it

My wife is the wealthy one and no. If you make a good amount of money or have inherited wealth, and you think you can't trust your girlfriend than don't get married. Also when in a relationship people will tell you who they are and what they are about through their actions. Pay attention and if you have any doubts than don't get married. At some point if you are in a relationship with someone you have to establish trust. All the horror stories you hear are usually people who rushed into marriage and didn't pay attention to the warning signs.
