At First, we’ve heard all the myths about how prenups = bad vibes. Our mission to make prenuptial agreements more accessible and affordable, and that starts with addressing the misunderstandings surrounding these key agreements. First Things First ®, here’s the truth behind those pesky rumors and why a First prenup can lay the groundwork for a successful marriage.
Myth #1: “A Prenup Means You Don’t Trust Each Other” This is probably the biggest misconception out there. The truth? A prenup isn’t about a lack of trust—it’s about transparency. It’s an open conversation about your finances and expectations, which is actually a great sign of trust and maturity. Think of it as setting the ground rules early, so you both know where you stand. And at First, you won’t be having those conversations alone. With our lawyer-supported product, each member of the couple pairs up with an experienced family law attorney. The two attorneys then work together to refine the agreement, each with their own client’s perspective in mind.
Myth #2: “Prenups Are Only for the Rich and Famous” You definitely don’t need to own a yacht or have a mansion in the Hamptons to benefit from a prenup. Whether you’re protecting your pets , anticipate any kind of inheritance (no matter how small!) , or simply want to keep things clear and fair, a prenup is for anyone who values clarity and peace of mind. At First, these considerations are built right into our patent-pending platform.
Myth #3: “Talking About a Prenup Kills the Romance” Admittedly, “prenup” isn’t the most romantic word in the dictionary (yet!). But real romance is about building a future together , and that includes having honest, sometimes tough, conversations. Discussing a prenup shows you’re both committed to making things work, no matter what life throws your way. That’s real partnership.
Myth #4: “Prenups Mean You’re Planning for Divorce” Don’t be silly! No one goes into marriage expecting it to end, just like no one buys health insurance hoping to get sick. A prenup is simply a safeguard, a way to protect both of you if the unexpected happens. It’s about being prepared, not pessimistic.
The Bottom Line Getting a prenup isn’t a red flag—it’s a sign that you’re thinking ahead and taking care of each other. It’s about respect, honesty, and making sure your relationship is built on a solid foundation. If anyone questions your choice, just smile and let them know you’re planning for a happy, secure future—together with First. Book a consultation call today!
