“Suggesting was okay, but going ‘I say either she gets a prenup or we transfer all property to my name’ is just ridiculous. Get the paperwork sorted out so that your half is protected, but what she does with her half and her arrangement with her future husband is none of your business.” “Anyone that enters into marriage with assets, especially assets shared with another person, absolutely should get a prenup. No one gets married thinking they’ll get divorced, and you can never be sure how people will change over time.” “You call your sister up, you apologize. You say something like, ‘I’m sorry, you’re right — me approaching this topic like this makes it seem like I’m casting aspersions on your future husband which is not what I meant. I see now that you getting married has caused me to realize we should probably formalize our business arrangement. I want you, as my business partner, to always have your income protected, and likewise for me. I was thinking of a prenup as what was needed when really we just need to sign some paperwork for the partnership that protects each of us no matter the eventuality. Would you be open to seeing a business lawyer with me to see what they suggest?’”
