im finding these results a little bit difficult to believe. i know full well that there are some absolute sweethearts in korea but come on....

I didn't vote because I'm not married but I'd just like to comment,

if one marries a K citizen and lives in K, what good would a prenupt do? it's to protect the parties and we all know the foreigner is gonna be screwed - if the couple live in the States they'd be bound by local laws, some which are worse than others - other countries, I don't know.

so why are you asking about prenupts? do you want to do one? if so I'd recommend hiring a crackerjack K atty - and make sure it'll be bound by both countries' laws, not just here.

just my 2 cents worth

The traditional 'woman controls the finanaces' doesn't happen in my house. I give my wife some money every month to cover our living and the rest is handled by me.

It works well. We put away a large number every month.

what would happen if you got divorced?

[idiotinkorea]

i don't, i wish i could, though. along these lines:

"i prenuptially agree not to marry you unless we engage in prenuptial s@ks resulting in mutual satisfaction to such a degree that we willingly consider marriage as an utterly unnecessary distraction to be disregarded".

and don't forget to have her sign it, if she is korean.

wow, i'll translate the poet:

we get married, btch dont consider this a marriage.

If you marry a Korean, and remain in Korea, you will learn the wisdom in the old maxim 'a fool and his money.'

I voted no. If the worst happens, you deal with it then, but it's awfully depressing to start a marriage off imagining it will fail. Statistics and friends and family may remind you of that well enough already. Besides, financially wise, there's nothing stopping people both having separate bank accounts for their wages / salary, and a joint one together into which each party transfers the majority of the money. Everyone's got money they earnt that they have the right to spend, but as a family money is being saved for a joint future and the majority of family expenses. Doesn't seem like rocket science to me.
