Episode 3 - Prenups Explained: Why Clarity Is the Most Romantic Thing You Can Do
Listen
Watch
Prenuptial agreements get a bad rap, but in this episode, we’re breaking down why prenups aren’t about planning for divorce, distrust, or power plays. They’re about clarity, transparency, and protecting everyone involved.
We’ll talk about how modern marriages are different than they used to be, why state laws matter more than most people realize, and how prenups can reduce conflict in both divorce and estate planning.
From business ownership and debt to blended families and inheritance issues, this episode walks through what prenups actually do, what they can (and can’t) cover, and how the process works.
If you think prenups are only for celebrities or the ultra-wealthy, this episode will change your mind.
Clarity, after all, is very romantic.
