The new power move: why smart women are demanding prenups

Summer weddings are in full swing and the peak fall season is approaching, with September and October accounting for one-third of all marriages annually, according to The Knot. While trends in the ideal months to marry rarely change, women marrying in 2025 have fundamentally different financial profiles than previous generations.

Today’s brides are CEOs, startup founders, creators and brand builders, engineers, physicians, real estate investors, scientists, and small business owners.
