Book Synopsis
Do you know what you're committing to-legally speaking-when you exchange wedding vows?
Saying "I do" means you've essentially agreed to a prenup by default. Most people haven't read their state's marital contract, but here's the gist: it was written in the 1800s by a bunch of old chauvinists whose idea of marriage would be best described today as cringe. Have there been tweaks? Sure. How's the foundation? Legally terrifying. And divorce happens. There's nothing colder and more embarrassing than having your divorce dominated by the state's default marriage laws.
In The Prenup Prescription, Harvard Law graduate and family attorney Aaron Thomas explains how a proper prenup can not only protect but improve your relationship. Don't just sign your state's antiquated, boilerplate marriage license and hope for the best. Sign up for "happily ever after" after reading this book to safeguard yourself and your spouse from outdated laws and cold feet.
