Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~A prenup is just a more honest acknowledgement that many marriages don’t last, and the parties should be protected if that happens.
~How else can you know this person is marrying you for the right reasons?
~If you aren’t in it for the money, why would it bother you to sign one?
~They introduce a sober sense of rationality into what is otherwise often a very irrational process. ~How can it possibly be fair for a woman to marry a wealthy man (or vice versa), live together for two years, and then get half of what took a lifetime to acquire?
~What about marriages involving heirs who have existing claims on the wealth of one parent?
~Pre-nups vastly simplify divorce proceedings, which is good for both parties involved if it ever comes to that.

Prenups force the secular government to take marriage at least as seriously as a car loan.
