50% of adults support marriage prenups

Axios -  Half of U.S. adults say they're open to signing a prenup, according to new data — preconceived notions about romance and matrimony be damned. More fiancés (millennials in particular) want to protect their assets before they tie the knot by signing prenups, contracts previously linked to only the rich and famous. By the numbers: 50% of U.S. adults said they at least somewhat supported the use of prenups, although about only 1 in 5 married couples has a prenuptial agreement, according to a September Harris

Younger generations in particular are embracing prenups, according to the Harris Poll. 41% of Gen Z respondents who are engaged or have been married said they entered a prenup.  47% of millennial respondents who are engaged or have been married said they entered a prenup....Meanwhile, divorce remains a common reality.  Even if you factor in the recent wedding boom that pushed the marriage-to-divorce rate down, 40% of marriages end in divorce nationally.
