Overview

Prenups and prenup conversations can be intense and emotionally charged. They've been ridiculed by many from Seinfeld to Kanye West. Prenups have a bad reputation. This book will help you begin to understand what impacts our ability to talk about money openly, and will give you approaches to use right away as you begin to discuss money, your life together, and your prenup. This book is written not from a legal perspective, although it provides guidance in this area, but rather, its focus is on the relationship.

By having the different kinds of money conversations high- lighted in this book you will be able to do just that. I couldn't help but think that all marriages should begin with these sort of conversations, not just those bound for prenups. --Leisa Peterson Life and Money Coach for Entrepreneurs As a wealth psychologist, I know that many couples are searching for just such a resource to help guide them on how to broach the prenup conversation in a way that is trust building as opposed to trust eroding. Emily Bouchard and Emily Chase-Smith have provided just such a resource in this easy to read and apply guide. --Dr. Jamie Traeger-Muney Founding Principal, Wealth Legacy Group A must read for anyone contemplating a 2nd marriage (or 1st or 3rd...) With so many of my generation looking at 2nd (and 3rd) marriages or marriage-like commitments, this book couldn't have come out at a better time or with better information. --Jill Davis Master Coach, Speaker and Author Here's the big message: It's not about the money or protecting yourself. It's about setting up a marriage for success. This is a radical reframe on a prenup as a way to affirm and grow your relationship through a conscious exploration of values. --Steve Levin, Executive Coach and Founder of Powerful Conversations training This beginners' guide to prenuptial agreements takes the terror out of the idea of prenups by returning the power and responsibility to the couple themselves, beginning with the simple fact that everyone who marries gets a prenup, like it or not. That's because the laws of your state will govern what happens to the money if you divorce, and so it's smart to think about whether that would work well for you or whether you'd rather craft something more custom- ized for your own values and circumstances. The authors guide readers through straightforward principles for having constructive conversations about money values and needs. Any couple contemplating marriage will have a stronger foundation for success after reading this book, whether they decide to create their own agreement or not. --Pauline H. Tesler, Esq. Director, Integrative Law Institute at Commonweal This is an amazing book, written in a way that keeps the reader engaged through the many thoughtful tips and exercises, all geared toward helping the soon-to-be- married couple navigate the challenging process of creating a pre- nuptial agreement. Bouchard and Smith help couples envision a very different process that produces more than the usual obligatory legal agreement by offering instead a vision that gives them the a way to use this process to strengthen their relationship. --Nancy Ross, LCSW, BCD Divorce Coach, Mediator, Trainer, Psychotherapist, and Communication Specialist for Trusts and Estates
