Some view marital property agreements as cynical or unromantic in nature. However, they often serve important functions for marrying or married couples. Problematic issues in a relationship generally do not disappear permanently when partners simply ignore them. Marital property agreements allow couples proactively to address potential sources of conflict.
When effectively negotiated and drafted, the specific terms of a marital property agreement may reduce or eliminate financial conflicts between the spouses by resolving uncertainty regarding the future. They also may provide an incentive to continue the marriage or a disincentive for engaging in inappropriate behavior.
