Marriage expert Norm Wright says that prenuptials usually reflect a lack of trust as well as an incomplete commitment. Although, it's true, you certainly both need to go into marriage with your eyes wide open, you also need to be ready to commit to the intent that you will be together 'til death do you part.
So...can the two of you say with confidence that everything now belongs to both of you--to your new marriage? If you are not willing to share your finances together at this stage in the game or if you're not convinced that you are necessarily going to stay together until one of you dies, then, forgive me for asking, but why are you getting married? At the very least, I would say that it's time to have a serious conversation about your future together. Not being able to trust each other in the financial arena begins your marriage on a foundation of disagreement--probably not the best start.
