We intend for our marriage to last forever... and the prenup will, primarily, work as a guide to help make sure we stay on task for the kind of life that we both want to build for each other and make that happen.
If one of us or the other starts slacking in some regard, the other can use it as a tool to say "hey - we're loosing focus"... and, if need be, as a last resort, a way to get out of the arrangement with less stress on everyone involved.

Quite exceptional. :D
I would say though that in many if not most relationships, when one party brings up the subject of a prenup it raises all sorts of red flags in the other person. A lot of people tend to view the concept of prenup as "planning to fail" instead of how you and your wife see it.
In this day and age of a 51% + divorce rate, many of which involve years of bitter lawsuits and court hearings and custody battles and vicious fights over property and money etc.... well, I am really starting to think that a mandatory prenup may be the way toward lessening some of the madness that goes on.
Would certainly cut down on the
what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine mentality that some have these days. :D
