How do I bring up the topic to my fianc?
Gently and well in advance of your planned wedding. We recommend you bring it up at least 3 months before your wedding. We would suggest that you be forthright, heartfelt and clear: “I would like to have a serious talk about how we will handle our finances during our marriage, and to talk about what our expectations would be in the event that our marriage did not work out. I think that our marriage has the best chance if we are honest with each other, and if we resolve important issues before they turn into disagreements. Money and finances come between lots of Couples , and many people ruin everything good between them in a divorce. I want to avoid that. Would you consider having this talk with me? I think a mediator can help us work through these issues together.” At Peace Talks Mediation Services, our mediators can help you think about the way you will approach your fiancé about the idea of a Premarital Agreement.
