Why Prenups Aren’t Just for the Rich (or the Divorcing)
When you hear “prenup,” what comes to mind? A dramatic divorce? A wealthy fiancé protecting their fortune? A last-minute legal ambush on a wedding day?
Most people associate prenuptial agreements with cynicism, mistrust, or worst-case scenarios. But what if we’ve been looking at them all wrong?
In this week’s episode of The Death Readiness Podcast, we’re flipping the script. I sit down with family dynamics coach, Emily Bouchard, to talk about how hard, honest, ongoing conversations about money can actually strengthen relationships.
The prenup isn’t what causes the tension. It’s how the discussion about the prenup is (or isn’t) handled. Whether or not a prenup is right for your situation, conversations about money before and throughout marriage matter. And they should aim to build trust, not anxiety or resentment.
Whether you’re getting married, remarried, or just trying to have more authentic and transparent conversations with someone you love, this episode is for you.
