Excerpt from MSNBC.com: 7 resolutions for sensational sex
in '07:
Wow your lover with seduction, good hygiene and a walk on the wild side
Q: Is it known what percentage of couples who
marry today will have signed a prenuptial agreement before they say “I
do”?
A: According to
Arlene G. Dubin, an attorney in the New York office of Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal,
and author of "Prenups for Lovers," nobody knows for sure because most
prenups are never put into the public record. Like sex, it’s one of those
things many people don’t mention.
But, she says, “there has been an explosion” of
prenups in recent years. She estimates, based on anecdote, that about 10 percent
of first marriages and 20 percent of second marriages now have a prenup attached.
(Lessons learned, so to speak.)
She thinks that by 2020 more than half of all marriages
will have such an agreement, a rise partly driven by the increasing economic
power of women.
Big cities like New York and Los Angeles have more
prenups because there are more rich people around with stuff to protect. But
people who have inheritances, no matter where they live, are signing up, too.
