In your own words, would you enter into a prenuptial agreement? If so, what should be included or excluded from such an agreement? If not, why not?
In my opinion I would never engage in a pre-nuptial agreement with my relational partner. Pre-nuptial agreement may be good for those who are highly professional and would not want to be engaged to someone who may harass them later on and demand for monetary or any other favors alter on.
I think that if an adult is entering into a relationship, they have enough of skills and abilities to judge who may be best suited to them. Getting engaged on terms is not good for me. It clearly indicates that either the person is not sure for himself or herself or is not sure about the commitment of the other person. Not having a relationship is always better than being in a relationship which is based on terms and conditions. Rogers very rightly said that in close relationships there should be unconditional positive regard and unconditional acceptance of self and of the relating partner is must. Such a relationship where partners have faith, confidence, unconditional love and positive regard for each other is always healthy and fruitful. Being in a relationship based on terms and conditions shows that there is no trust and commitment between the relating partners.
Therefore, I would never want to have a pre-nuptial agreement.
