Protect each other from debts. Some of us bring debts, as well as assets, to a marriage. If there’s no prenup, creditors can sometimes turn to marital or community property to satisfy the debts of just one spouse. But if you want to make sure that saying “I do” does not mean saying “I owe,” you can use a prenup to limit your liability for each other’s debts.
