Believers should not even consider getting a prenup. As the great philosopher Dave Ramsey says, "If you get a prenup, the marriage is doomed to fail." If either party wants a prenup, there are deeper issues and therefore should not be united in marriage. If you doubt the marriage, the relationships, or motives the unit is not there. It is a "one flesh" relationship. The husband and wife are 1 body, not two legal parties. Prenups make no sense to me. Believers should not even consider getting a prenup.

another instance is when major amounts of money are involved … because we don’t have complete info and one party could not be entering into this covenant honestly, major amounts of money just changes dynamics of relationships.

in almost all cases, they are not needed, useful, or good, however a blanket statement of “no” would not be appropriate
