My fiance doesn't want to sign a prenup - I don't know what to do!

A prenup protects you in case something goes horribly wrong in life and you need a divorce. Sure, life is wonderful now, but people can change over time or due to circumstances.

What if one of you becomes an alcoholic or addicted to pain killers after a surgery or car accident? What if he gets a fetish of some sexual thing that you could never do and now your sex life sucks - or YOU get one and he no longer satisfies you in bed? What if he becomes addicted to video games and ignores your baby when they're crying, to the point of neglect? What if he suddenly supports a political party opposite yours and it becomes a problem? What if he has a life changing experience and wants to join a cult in the desert? Some of these can be worked on in counseling ... but some situations lead to divorce.

It's wonderful you are in love and think you will be together long-term - that's a great goal! But you honestly never know what will happen in life. Please protect yourself and your assets just in case something goes wrong. Marriage is a contract and needs more than just "love." There's nothing wrong with hoping for the best ... but preparing for the worst.
