Marriage is the most important legal contract you’ll ever sign, but no one has read it!
Today, the average couple has 8–10 bank accounts, 6-7 credit cards, equity in a property, multiple retirement accounts, tens of thousands in student loans, multiple vehicles, two jobs, and possibly a business, brokerage accounts, and inheritance. It is important to combine your financial lives fairly to avoid a messy end to a marriage, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars and have a devastating impact on each spouse’s life, children, and financial future.
Prenups.com has developed a plan for you to get married and structure your finances in a way that avoids the most common confusion and arguments couples have when it comes to their finances.

They’ll provide you with a customized playbook that eliminates the confusion about relationship finance, ensures you and your spouse have agreed to a fair plan for managing your money, and gives you the tools to plan for a long marriage together.
