If you check out the numbers, the average marital relationship throughout the United States has approximately a 50/50 chance of finishing in separation and divorce at some point. This is a fact of life, but the common way that people react to statistics that they kind of wish were not true will be with the old "yes, but that will never happen to me." However, divorce does happen to these people because nobody enters into a marriage expecting it to dissolve at some point. 

The odds of you totalling your car or truck are not 50/50 by any means, yet you still carry insurance and almost everyone would do so even if it wasn't required by law. Yet a pre-nuptial agreement, which would be far more likely to come into play than your insurance coverage, is considered by many to be unnecessary and even insulting to the party asked to enter into it. These agreements are very useful and they have their place, and rather than being an impediment to true romance their existence leads to more and not less marriages because people who are in love can commit to one another without signing over all of their personal property in the process.

As the name suggests, post nuptial agreements are entered into after the marriage has taken place, so they can't facilitate more marriages but the do keep marriages together that would otherwise end in divorce. There can come a time when the partners involved in the union simply don't agree about how to handle the community property. One or both parties may start to feel like the only way to assert ownership over an individual share of the assets would be to get divorced. This outcome can be averted by a post nuptial agreement that delineates the personal property of each partner and the problem is solved for good.
