With the national divorce rate spiking like a batch of Twisted Tea, it’s no wonder that we’ve seen a renewed interest in pre-nuptial agreements. More than ever, these agreements have become an integral part of the arrangements a couple will make before tying the knot. Between high profile splits like the Kardashian catastrophe to the everyday scenarios of your neighbors down the block, the specter of divorce knows no singular demographic. As your relationship nears towards the ever-ominous edge that teeters between “dating†and “marriage,†you’ll probably be in need of a little perspective.

“I grew up in Brazil in a small and simple family filled with love.  They always supported my crazy mind,†she says.  “And the freedom that they gave me to follow what I wanted to do was very important — it made me who I am.â€
