Should Christian Couples Consider a Prenup? A Biblical Look at Money, Marriage, and Trust

Is a prenuptial agreement ever appropriate for a Christian couple, or is it always a sign of distrust? In this thoughtful discussion, we explore how Scripture frames marriage as a sacred covenant—not a contract—and examine the financial complexities some couples face.

From blended families to business ownership, learn when a prenup or postnuptial agreement might make sense and how to navigate these decisions with wisdom, unity, and a Christ-centered perspective.
