You say that you have assets such as property, retirement ,savings, and other investments that you would like to protect. You dont want your assets to be part of the marital pie. You trust your future spouse but still want to protect the assets your have acquired before the marriage.

Youre just not sure how to discuss this subject with your future spouse without possibly offending them. Here are five tips on what you may want to tell your future spouse:

1. Your accountant is recommending that you keep your assets before the marriage separate. Blame it on your accountant!

2. If you have children from a prior relationship, you may want your children to have the assets you acquired before the marriage.

3. You just want to protect your assets prior to the marriage in case of future problems with the marriage.

4. Your assets before the marriage may be for a relative or beneficiary that you want to benefit from your assets.

5. You simply want the both of you to start fresh and develop your assets together as a newly married couple.

Dont let the issue of a prenuptial agreement be a deflator to your relationship and create a level of distrust. Explain in detail to your future spouse the reason you would like a prenuptial agreement and everything between the two of you will probably work out in the end just fine.

If you decide that you want a prenuptial agreement with your future spouse, make sure you ease into discussing this subject. You know your future spouses feelings and emotions better than anyone else! You may even suggest that you both have a prenuptial agreement.
