Prenups create legal terms for the division of capital and property in the event of a divorce. They’re sensible, because no matter how in love you are, life is unpredictable and shit happens. In rare cases they can be abusive, and so both parties really need lawyers before signing one, but they’re usually reasonable, and stipulate in layman’s terms “If we exit this marriage, we both retain what we had when we came in, and we split whatever we gained during during it”.
They cause contention because “But if you were really in love with me, you wouldn’t be planning for a divorce!”
