Pondering the P-word: prenuptial agreements

Q: I told my sister my boyfriend recently brought up the M-word (marriage), and she asked if he also brought up getting a prenup. He didn’t; should he have? We met a few years ago after going through rough divorces and both swore we’d never get married again. I think my sister has a lot more money than I do, if that makes any difference. She’s a widow. —Deborah Anne, Virginia
