People Who Do Prenuptial Contracts Stay Together Longer

About this video

Attorney James Sexton says that of the hundreds, if not thousands, of prenuptial agreements he has done over 25 years, he can recall perhaps five clients whose divorces he later handled. Sexton describes prenups as usually friendly, positive transactions, unlike divorces, and suggests the pattern may be self-selecting: couples able to have the difficult conversations a prenup requires, which he prefers not to call negotiation, may be the kind of people who will be successfully married anyway.

Key takeaways

• Sexton says he has handled divorces for only about five of his many prenup clients over 25 years.
• Sexton suggests prenup couples may be self-selecting for the communication skills a successful marriage needs.
