YMMV / The Golden Girls S 06 E 16 There Goes The Bride

• Values Dissonance: Near the end of the episode, Stan wants Dorothy to enter into a pre-nuptual agreement with him prior to their remarriage. This is treated by Dorothy (and the episode) as a sure sign Stan doesn’t believe in their union as much as he seemed. Putting aside his past infidelities and irrresponsibility with money, Stan’s choice to implement such an agreement would be seen as a very smart idea today (and one of the wisest decisions he ever made on the show, given his recent success as a businessman), as many new marriages have them in place to prevent more contentious divorces financially. (Many prenups even have financial penalties if one partner has an affair!)
