Prenups for Lovers

This ring-to-altar guide is a valentine to anyone who’s dating, contemplating marriage, living with someone, or engaged. In Prenups for Lovers, family-law attorney Arlene G. Dubin describes how prenuptial agreements stimulate communication and compromise, enhancing the prospects for a happy marriage. In addition to defending the much-maligned prenup, Ms. Dubin offers a wise and witty handbook for negotiating an agreement, including: how to pop the “P” word, and how to respond if it’s popped to you; checklists to make sure there will be no court after the courtship; real-life profiles and celebrity tidbits special sections for young people, women, entrepreneurs, and cohabitants; tips for married couples (because it’s never too late). Every bride and groom will say “I do” to prenups after reading this book.
