Today in the US, the law mocks responsibility within marriage: it places zero value on love, virtue or devotion, and yet has no trouble measuring money. Every woman is subject to being tempted by feminism's false promise that they can walk away from a marriage and suffer virtually no consequences, keeping the kids, the house, and an income to provide the same quality of life even without the man. Consequently, many women fall into this trap and families are destroyed. A prenup, if it assures that this illusion will fail, may help preserve the marriage by restoring natural economic incentives. It would be nice if this were not needed, and for many people it is not. Bless all those who do not yield to temptation. Men of course have their own set of temptations, but family law doesn't incentivize them in the same way.
