1) Did you have a pre-nup when you got married?
2) Knowing what you know of the world now would you want a pre-nup if you were to remarry?
For myself, it would take very special circumstances to get me to remarry. What I would do is co-habitate with a partner. And I would spend the money that a divorce might cost later and spend it on an enforceable contract before moving in.
I know that is not very romantic but I am way too old to believe in Disney.

We were young and had nothing when we married, so no.
If I were widowed and were to remarry, I would consider one. Mainly for my kids' inheritance as well as his interests.

We didn't and hopefully this marriage ain't going nowhere. I'm not sure of my opinion of them to be honest.

we ddn't but we didn't have anything. one of our very very rich friends insisted on a prenup with his sweetie and ended up not getting married. he is worth something like over $40 million..in that case, he was smart. still not married. but has another girlfriend.

when we got married we didn't have a lot so no. If I were to remarry (very unlikely) it depends. Is he the one with a bunch of money or is it me?  |

No, dh and I started dating in college and married after graduation. No need for a prenup.

We had a prenup and I don't regret it. If something happened to my husband or our marriage and I were on the market again, I don't know if I'd get married again. Probably not. I love being married to my husband, but I'm done having kids, have assets to protect, and I'm just not sure I'd feel compelled to marry again. I'd definitely be open to living together and maybe I would want to marry. Hopefully I'll never find out.

We didn't have many assets when we married. I wouldn't marry again if something happened to my husband.

Yes. My DH was well off, I had nothing. I had no problems with it. If there was a disparity in finances either way, I would probably get one again if I were to remarry. But I hope that will never need to be considered.

I'm very anti-divorce so the idea of having a pre-nup is counter to my beliefs. I can't imagine going into a marriage already making plans for a possible divorce.
But then, I've never had more than two nickels to rub together...

Neither of us had anything the other might have coveted had the marriage not worked out.

We had nothing, no need for one. I can't imagine wanting to get married again, and even if I did, I wouldn't be the one with a ton of assets to protect so I guess it's up to Matt Damon as to whether we have a prenup or not.  |

We didn't have one and I would not do one now. We are of average means so no need. If there were previous major assets and it was a 2nd marriage, then maybe. DH already had a house when we married, so if anyone should've had one, it would've been him. Not sure I would've been ok signing one though.

Like you, it would take a lot to get me to tie the knot again. Like you, even cohabitation would require paperwork. What's mine is mine and I want it to stay that way. The first time I married, neither of us had anything to lose, now I do so I am definitely more leery of losing it. |

We did not my first time, didn't need it. I would next time if it comes time to get married again. I do have a lot to protect and want it to be there for my kids. You just never know. I didn't think i would get divorced once, how do I know it couldn't happen again? But I'm a long way from that, so for now I don't worry about it.

But I hope that will never need to be considered. This was us too, he had a lot and I had little. But no pre-nup. I asked DH if he wanted one, but he didn't. Plus we were only engaged for about 5 minutes. Not sure if I would re-marry or not. Hopefully I will never be in the position to find out. |

We didn't have anything when we married, so there was nothing to protect. I don't think I would ever marry again or even cohabitate. I used to wonder why my mom never found someone else after my dad passed away, but now that I've been married and have a kid I totally understand why she didn't.

Didn't have one and didn't need it. We both had nothing when we married. well, I had $2500 in student loans and he had a $2000 car. Poor guy. Should have thought about that car. you never know. I could have been a gold digger.  |

Well I am not getting re-married at this point in my life. Too old, too crazy and too not into it.
If I did meet someone, and based on the information my mother gave me the year before she died, I would definitely get a prenuptial agreement.

I do not have a prenup If I were to get married again, I don't know what I would o What I would do is co-habitate with a partner. I live in a common law marriage state, so if I co-habitated, I could have to get a divorce anyway. My cousin was very pissed when she found out she had to divorce her common law husband. She said she didn't marry him for a reason. |

1) no
2) I don't think I'd ever date, never mind remarry, if my husband died.

no prenup. I had nothing. he had a house.
fast forward 25 years....life is much much different. if something were to happen to DH I would definitely have a prenup if I remarried. at this point in my life, the financial aspect of marriage is more important than when I was young, dumb, and asset-less. |
