In determining the legitimacy of a prenuptial agreement, the general consideration over a contract is marriage itself. Judicially, marriage conveys the gift of being able to share in the other’s spouse estate in particularly in case of death or dissolution. Therefore, the question of what constitutes ample consideration always become muddied when couples develop the intention to enter into a post nuptial agreement because the marriage seems to have already taken place and the past consideration herein cannot really support the current promise ("Post-nuptial Agreements: What is your consideration? | Breeding Henry Baysan", 2019).
