Is a prenuptial agreement a death knell for romance or a sensible course of action in the tricky topic of financial affairs in marriage? Should more couples be open to signing prenuptial agreements before they wed? A prenuptial agreement, also referred to as a prenup, is a signed contract that establishes the property and financial rights of each spouse in the event of a divorce.

A prenuptial agreement eliminates battles over assets and finances after the couple splits up. A prenup is a difficult matter to broach with your partner. The last thing any couple wants to do is argue about money before they even walk down the aisle.
