He's right, IMO - unless it's a second marriage and children's inheritance is involved.

I agree with your point of view, especially if there is an estate from the deceased first partner who was the bio parent of the kids.

If this is a serial monogamy situation, it gets more complicated as to whether these people should contract a Christian marriage, as Nina0113 points out.

Allow me to piggyback on that comment that if either party is an owner or member of a family-owned business, it is generally considered good business practice to ensure that family ownership does not become diluted due to a divorce. The answer to that dilemma is a pre-nup along with carefully drawn business organization plans that restrict ownership.

In an era where money is coveted and greed is rampent,if the person has a substantial amount of money and the other person does not have much, or if both have large inheritances a prenup is important. People are crazy, christian or not, to get married without a prenup that spells out who gets what if they decide to divorce. The reason being that the lawyers would get most of their money trying to keep it from the other person. No prenup works great for attorneys. And if children are involved from previous marriage, then all the more it’s needed. If you both are broke, or equally balanced, then maybe it doesn’t matter.
I am a strong christian, and your marriage is only solid if BOTH parties work at it, period. Christian marriages have almost same divorce rate as nonchristian marriages. Whether you sign a prenup or not will not affect your marriage, that’s superstition. You can never make another person do what they are supposed to do, if you could there wouldn’t be an over 50% divorce rate.
