I think they're a good idea.
I mean we take out health insurance, life insurance, car insurance, it's kind of "marriage insurance". It can work both ways I think. While it can be seen as mistrust or "expectation to failure", it can also help it be a successful marriage - if the wife or husband knows they can't divorce and hit the jackpot due to a pre nup I kinda like that idea. It is not more expectation to failure than taking out health insurance is expectation that you will be very sick. Pre nuptial or similar sort of contractual obligations are traditional and custom in many cultures I think. Given that the Christian divorce rate seems to be no better than the rest of the world, I think Christians dont have any special sort of protection from the evils of divorce.

I think a woman should sign a pre-nup to prove she's not in it for the money. And same for a man if the woman is wealthy. LOL. No, really, pre-nups are something both can work together on until they reach agreement, and gets all the financial things out in the open which can help make a better marriage.

Personally I would not sign one or ask a partner to sign one, even though it would prove that neither person was in it for the wrong reasons. I believe that if a couple has progressed to the point of marriage then nothing should need proving or even be in question, the trust between you should be absolute.
I think if I personally felt the need to have that protection I would then have to question whether I was ready for marraige or if that person was the right person.

In my opinion, when a Christian gets married, they should have the absolute intention that divorce would never take place or be considered. A pre nup seems like a premature way to put one nail in the coffin of a marriage. I imagine that it could put a strain on the trust between man and wife before they even become man and wife. I don't see how I would, or even could, consider a pre nup.

As a Christian once I get married there is no option of divorce. I won't even say the word. It's a contract with the Lord who binds two as one. It's either a lifetime of bliss or misery but its a lifetime.
Plus its just money. Everything you own was given to you by God. What God gives you he can take away.
That said if I was an unbeliever in the marriage dissolving world we live in I would definitely get one.

Walt I understand what you're saying but the reality is that Christians are no more immune to divorce than anyone else. That's because marriage is not a Christian thing it's a human thing and Christians are still human. Prenups may just help avoid a tricky situation further down the track. Marriage is not just a relationship it's also a financial contract of sorts.
