There are a growing number of prenups that have more to do with preventing or ameliorating divorce. They include both parties involved agreeing to marital counseling before separating or similar. They may be recommended by specific religious groups and/or officiants, and there was one that some states were pushing a few years back. One common name for the latter is "covenant marriage".

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
