Pre-nup to cover what? Neither sound like they have a whole lot. If he’s just wanting to keep his income earned during the marriage as his alone, rather than theirs ... there’d need to be a damn good reason.
Ultimately, pre-nups are contrary to the actual purpose of getting married. The point is for two to become one ... not for two to stay two. There are limited cases where it might be worth looking into. This doesn’t sound like one of them.

It does not create two staying two. It actually can do the opposite. It will scare off someone who will decide to cash in the chips and walk away for some trival reason.
We hear all the romantic and idealistic talk,, but basically a prenup is asking the other party to walk their talk.
A man can enter a marriage deeply committed and be a fine husband by every sane standard. But that gives him no reasonable assurance that he will not be looted unjustly. I see nothing wrong with asking someone to sign.
You are basically asking them to be as committed as you are. You run tremendous risk, and so should they (by giving up the financial advantage a divorce could bring them)
