Build the Kind of Marriage You Both Intend to Have.
A Pre-Marriage Planning Agreement gives you a simple, supportive way to build your life together with intention. It’s a modern, guided process that helps you define how you want to care for each other, make decisions as a team, and create a partnership shaped by your values, rather than the state’s default rules. Strong marriages don’t happen by accident. They’re built through honest conversations, shared expectations, and mutual care. A marriage planning session is where those conversations begin.
Why Couples Choose Marriage Planning
Marriage Planning gives couples a thoughtful, low-pressure way to talk about the practical and emotional pieces of building a life together. It’s an opportunity to understand each other more deeply, explore what really matters to both of you, and create a plan that supports the marriage you intend to have—not the one Florida assumes you want. Marriage planning is about more than protecting against what could go wrong. It’s about getting clear on what you’re creating together.
Before the legal language comes in, there’s value in slowing down and talking through the life you’re designing: how you’ll make decisions, handle money, support one another’s goals, and navigate change over time. These conversations turn good intentions into shared understanding and set the stage for the practical agreements that follow.
Couples often choose Marriage Planning because it helps them:
Understand each other’s values, priorities, and assumptions—early, openly, and without pressure.
From finances and responsibilities to long-term goals, you build a practical picture of how life will work together.
Your agreement reflects real circumstances—businesses, property, savings, and family responsibilities—not one-size-fits-all assumptions.
Knowing how you’ll handle money, change, and uncertainty creates confidence, stability, and trust.
A Thoughtful Process, Sensibly Priced
Most couples assume a process like this is expensive, but it’s often less than what people spend on wedding flowers.
Marriage planning is a thoughtful, intentional investment in your relationship. It creates clarity around expectations, finances, and decision-making, and helps couples enter marriage with a shared understanding instead of assumptions. For many couples, the peace of mind it provides becomes one of the most valuable parts of the entire wedding experience and the partnership that follows.

The Marriage Planning Process
Marriage planning is a guided process designed to meet couples where they are. Each step builds on the one before it, moving at a pace that allows for reflection, conversation, and understanding.
Marriage planning unfolds over time, allowing couples to move thoughtfully through important conversations with guidance and support. The goal isn’t speed, but clarity, understanding, and agreements that genuinely reflect the partnership you are creating.
This isn’t about rushing to an agreement or checking boxes. It’s about a thoughtful space for conversations, supported by professionals, so the legal decisions reflect the relationship you are building.

It’s not just an agreement. It’s the beginning of a more intentional partnership.
Addressing Common Misunderstandings
Many couples hesitate to bring up Marriage Planning because of old myths that simply aren’t true. This quick Myth vs. Fact guide clears up the confusion and shows what the process really looks like and how it actually works.
Fact: Every couple has something worth protecting—especially stability. Marriage Planning helps you create your own rules instead of relying on Florida’s defaults, no matter your income.
Fact: The process actually builds trust. It gives both partners a calm, structured way to talk about expectations, money, and future plans without judgment or pressure.
Fact: Most couples say the opposite. Honest conversations about your life together deepen connection and reduce the misunderstandings that strain relationships later.
Fact: Traditional prenups can feel that way, but Marriage Planning isn’t a negotiation. It’s a collaborative process guided by a neutral team that supports both partners.
Fact: The process is designed to be clear, supportive, and accessible—often costing less than a single wedding detail like flowers. And the value lasts far longer.
Where Marriage Planning Really Matters
The Stay-at-Home Partner
When one partner steps back from work for children or the household, their earning power and long-term security naturally shift. Marriage Planning helps both partners acknowledge that sacrifice and agree on how it will be supported. It protects the partnership by making sure no one’s future is left vulnerable.
The Small Business or Family Property
A business, side venture, or inherited property can become intertwined with the marriage more quickly than couples expect. Marriage Planning lets you clarify what’s separate, what’s shared, and how contributions will be recognized. It protects both the relationship and the asset without creating tension later.
The Hidden or Uneven Debt
Many couples bring student loans, credit cards, or old financial obligations into the relationship. Marriage Planning gives you a clear, judgment-free way to talk about debt and decide together how it will be handled. Instead of surprises or resentment later, you enter marriage with honesty and a plan.
