Immediately before saying you can't put a price on love, you said $200K isn't enough to warrant a prenup... You just obliterated your point right here. $200K is a lot of money to some people, and for others, but saying "you can't put a price on love", isn't what a prenup is about. A prenup has absolutely nothing to do with love. It is designed to protect both individuals' assets they accumulated prior to getting married. Someone may not have $200K in the bank, but they may own property, or a business, or something they have worked for before getting married that they want to keep as theirs, should their marriage end in divorce, which chances are higher that it will. Since none of us are family lawyers, we shouldn't be advising anyone of whether or not they should get a prenup, since none of us are in an expert position to offer legal advice. If you aren't into getting a prenup, then don't bother looking into it, but it's pretty irresponsible not to do your own thorough research on it before you decide to go one way or the other, especially if you are being pressured by your SO not to get one.
