If Kim leaves, I've already lost that which is most precious in my life, and nothing else really matters. Be willing to put a higher value on your relationship instead of your assests -- it puts things in a better perspective.

100% agreed. Prenupts have no place in a marriage. If you feel you need/want one then you're marrying the wrong person.
edit - or you are not ready for marriage. Your spouse and kids are worth far more than material assets. Look at the divorce rate among celebrities - the problem there is not about money or fame, it's ego. These people are so full of themselves that they don't have room for anyone else.
