How to protect yourself in a marriage?

[Steel]

In the future if i decided to take the plunge. How do you protect yourself financially. What steps do you take beforehand?

Not trying to give anyone 50% and alimony can gtfoh

 

[Vandelay]

Get a domestic partnership instead

Isn't there a thing called a prenup? But if you need one of those you are marrying the wrong person. All this could be avoided if you marry a woman and not a spoiled little western girl.

No joint accounts.
No co-signing for loans.
Establish how bills will be divided upfront.
Stick to it.
A prenup might help.

Best and most simple advice - DON'T get MARRIED

But Marriage with the RIGHT WOMAN can be an amazing thing. I have a good circle of black men who I consider extended family who married and have kids but they really waited until their 40's and all of these women are from overseas.

Not saying that works for everyone but they have shown me marriage can work if you are BOTH coming correct and mature also don't let anyone say otherwise there are plenty of good women here in the USA black white or what ever you dig.

I did the above and got out in under 5 years also no debt or signed for loans. My ex-wife is 55k deep just from a BA degree and also bad credit from the jump. I didn't mingle any finances with her and kept separate accounts.

Picking the right partner is EVERYTHING when it comes to a successful marriage

You and your spouse don't have to be compatible on EVERYTHING as long as you are in mental/spiritual/physical love and in agreement on the major issues. Gender roles, sex/romance, religion, finances, rearing children, each other's families and you guys can hold an interesting conversation with one another. Adaptability>compatibility.

Also, brush up on your negotiation skills because arguments inevitably come in a marriage and you and your SO will need to be able to meet in the middle for an ameliorable agreement to keep the foundation of love & trust strong.

You don't need to get married if you're worried about a prenup because you shouldn't go into a marriage thinking about divorce, marriage is supposed to last forever.

Dont get married...


Or get the “right person”, and just pray to God she doesnt have a swing of emotions and switches up on u and take that chance.....

Oh, prenups also get thrown out in court all the time..

Good luck OP.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Marry someone with a similar income. People keep saying marry the right person but people change. The person you married is not the person you divorce

 

[Doobie Doo]

(The only thing I can recommend is keeping an off shore account YOU NEVER EVER mention to her under any circumstance

 

[LebronsHairline]

If you gotta think of being protected don't get married. Don't listen to old nikkas telling you to get married or old bytches. This is 2017, you can find love and someone within reason if you play your cards right. Patience. I know nikkas who settled down, and did not really want to do that shyt at all. It's what we are always taught to do.
