Coming Book: The Marriage-Friendly Prenup – AI Podcast Now Available

The Marriage-Friendly Prenup is a book written by attorney and mediator Laurie Israel that argues that prenuptial agreements are often overused and harmful to marriages. Israel critiques the traditional, adversarial approach to prenup negotiation and advocates for a more collaborative and generous approach that prioritizes the needs and security of both spouses. The book examines common prenup scenarios, explores the potential for negative consequences stemming from traditional prenup terms, and proposes alternative terms that are designed to foster a healthier and more equitable marriage.

This book will be available during January 2025. For now, give a listen and stay tuned!
