Prenuptial agreements are traditionally designed to dictate what will happen with a couple's finances in case of divorce, and now they're expanding to include some clauses for other money-related issues.
Health care is something that's already pushing some couples to the altar; in just the past year, seven percent of adults in the US married for health insurance.

While I don't imagine most workplaces host as much inter-office intercourse as the hot crew on Grey's Anatomy, there's no doubt that sex with co-workers is not limited to scripted TV.
