recognizing emotional intelligence, recognizing how important communication skills are like that wasn't happening, you know, in the past, people kind of poo pooed that entire, you know, field will say, and now I think people are much more open to it.

So I'm hopeful, I'm hopeful that even the people that come to my office, and I can kind of, you know, prenup, and I'm like, Oh, you're not really talking to each other so nicely, and you're not really hearing each other, they're gonna get better.

Like, I just believe.

And if not, I guess I'll end up back in my office.

So prenuptial agreements, I mean, we do a ton, ton of them.

I would say they're probably like 40 percent of my practice at this point.

That said, I actually I am a believer in them.

And I'll tell you why.

You definitely have people that come to me and say, well, I'm planning my divorce, the unromantic, all of these things.

And I completely understand that.

But there's a few things here.

Divorce rates are over 50 percent.

If someone told you there was a 50 percent chance that if you got in a car, you were getting in a car accident, you would never get in that car.

You know, I mean, those are really high stands.

You have just as much ability not to get an accident or to get into an accident.

Like that's scary.

That's a scary stat.

But yet people are getting married all the time.

And so I think there's just a practicality to the fact that there is a chance this isn't going to work.

And so I do think there's someone being intelligent because at the end of the day, this is a legal contract.
