Marriage is a beautiful and joyful event in one’s life. While many couples live happily ever after, some couples might face insurmountable problems in their married life. One way to minimize potential conflict in any marriage is to come to an agreement early on in the relationship. A prenuptial agreement, or prenup, is a perfect way for couples to get on the same page.
