You'd never start a company with a co-founder and no operating agreement. No equity split. No exit clause. No IP protection. No terms at all. But that's exactly what most professionals do when they get married. A prenup isn't a relationship document. It's a shareholder agreement for your household. It defines equity, liability, separate property, and what happens if the partnership dissolves. The difference? If your startup fails without an operating agreement, you lose a business. If your marriage ends without a prenup, you could lose a decade of wealth-building overnight. We broke this down in a new co-produced episode with Triggs Table Talks. Link in comments. Would you enter a business partnership with no written terms?
