Even with a pre-nup they still have access to your money while they're married to you.
So what is the exact value in a pre-nup then?
You keep separate accounts for your money/wealth. Hard assets are easily justified as yours (pre-marriage), but if you have cash, you put that shit in CDs or another financial instrument so that you can document it from day #1 as being yours.
Wipe the slate clean the day you get married. And if you make a lot more than her, then you take a cut and fund your side accounts. I would never, ever, get married and not maintain side accounts in my name only.
Live paycheck to paycheck with the wifey, but fund your bachelor (i.e. escape) account on the side.
