Would you ask your man to sign a prenup?(prenuptial agreement)(Brief Article)
More and more women are making their guy sign on the dotted line before saying "I do."
For years, men have asked their future wives to sign prenuptial agreements. But now, increasing numbers of women are requesting prenups of their own, according to George Stern, former president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. After all, 30 percent of today's working women earn more than their beaus do (Drew Barrymore, for example, pulls down bigger bucks than Tom Green). So we asked Cosmo readers, is it smart to get a prenup drawn up, or is it just a sign of our cynical times?
YES: Cover your assets
81% WOMEN 52% MEN
"Neither partner should be prevented from reaping the benefits of his or her earnings just because a marriage didn't work out. In a world where the sexes are becoming more equal, a woman's right to protect her property and privileges should be more common as well."
"A prenup shows you're thinking with your head, not just your heart. If there's a nasty ending, this makes sure things are easier."
"Marriage may be about love and trust, but how can you be sure that those feelings will still be there if it all falls apart?"
