Would you sign a pre-nup?

Would you sign a pre-nup?

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

They’re becoming a staple in many modern marriages —the prenuptial agreement that protects each individual’s assets in the event of a divorce.

Some people think they’re unromantic, but others see them as critical, an insurance plan of sorts.

Would you sign a prenuptial agreement?

Samuel, 39:

If I love her, signing a pre-nup wouldn’t be an issue. I’m not going into a marriage to see what I can get when we are divorced.

Kaydeen, 28:

I would be somewhat offended that he would think I was marrying him for what he had. I would have to think about it. Because it sounds more like he is preparing for a divorce rather than a marriage.

Marla, 36:

If my husband had come to me with the pre-nup argument I would just laugh at him, because I surely wouldn’t be trying to get his old pop down car, as it was the only thing of worth he owned at the time.

Leon, 30:

I would have to get a lawyer to sort that out because my aim in marrying her would not be to use her for personal gain, and if that is how she felt, then maybe she doesn’t know the man that I am.

Raven, 25:

If I loved him a pre-nup wouldn’t matter. I would feel hurt that he would have asked me for one, but it wouldn’t change my love for him.

Marlene, 45:

I think that it would be a turn-off and would put a damper on our wedding. I’m not sure I would sign it.

Olivine, 39:

I think that this is something that would have to be discussed before he asks me to marry him. This is a sensitive matter that really shouldn’t be placed on the table as a last minute thing. I wouldn’t sign it.

Wally, 44:

I would feel like I was being pinned into a corner because not only is she asking me to sign this but she is saying if I don’t sign it she won’t marry me. I wouldn’t want to rush and sign it because she wants me to. So if it means that the wedding has to be put off until we can reach an agreement, then so be it.

Britney, 32:

I wouldn’t sign it; well, not within the moment of him giving it to me. I would need time to process it.

Mitzi, 38:

I would sign it to prove to him that I don’t care about what he has. I only care about loving him.

Oral, 39:

I would be surprised that she did this as a last minute thing but I would sign it for a peaceful life. Next thing you will hear that I don’t want to sign it because I want to see what I can get when the marriage fails.
