Most couples sign their marriage license and hope for the best. The Prenup Prescription makes the case for something better.
Attorney and Prenups.com founder Aaron Thomas argues that a well crafted prenuptial agreement isn’t a hedge against divorce — it’s one of the most practical financial planning decisions a couple can make before marriage.
In this book, he walks couples through what they’re actually agreeing to when they get married, what the law does and doesn’t protect, and how a prenup can become the foundation for transparency, communication, and a financially healthy marriage. If you’ve been engaged, are newly married, or are still figuring out whether a prenup makes sense for you — this is the book.
Most people have no idea what they’re agreeing to when they exchange vows. This book changes that.
A prenup is a financial agreement between two people planning a life together. That framing changes everything about how you approach it.
Not all prenups are enforceable. This book walks through what makes an agreement solid — and what gets them thrown out in court.
The Prenup Prescription is a must-read. Aaron compares marriage today to two fully formed corporations that come together as one. How could any such arrangement lead to ‘happily ever after’ without a contract in place? Aaron provides the actionable education in prenups needed to help a couple engineer their own healthy and successful marriage, one set on a foundation of transparency, communication, and fairness — the key tenets of a healthy relationship. Aaron’s insight into the world of family law and prenups is the definition of ‘private lives are public issues.

A prenup can do so much more than simply outline how you’ll divide assets in the case of divorce. A dynamic premarital contract can actually save your marriage — with a mix of relationship advice. Aaron guides couples through the clear conversations needed to create a transparent, ongoing plan with regard to all things money. He also shows readers how to truly commit to those plans by integrating them into a prenup. Aaron changed my views on prenups, and in The Prenup Prescription, he shows you just how valuable a tool they can be.
