Myproperty.ph explains what is a prenuptial
agreement and why couples about to get married should have one.
Many
couples who are into their nth year (even month) of being together decide to
get married because they feel, in all aspects, that they’re ready for the
responsibility. Mentally, they believe it’s the most logical next step once
they’ve reached a certain point in their relationship. Emotionally, they think
they’re mature enough to have kids. And then there’s the
I’m-not-getting-any-younger physical aspect. But if all you’ve done in the
financial aspect is get stable jobs and save enough money to live off of, you
might also want to consider getting a prenuptial agreement.
To most Filipinos, nothing puts a
damper on the romantic idea of marriage like a prenuptial agreement. Because
it’s a legal contract of how assets will be divided between husband and wife in
the event of a separation, they think it’s like anticipating that the union
will eventually end, which then kills the romance. But the reality is, money is
one of the biggest issues that put a strain on a marriage, which is what makes
a prenup even more essential.
So,
who needs a prenuptial agreement?
