This article seemed mostly about advisors and emotions.
What stuck out to me was this, which in my recent experience is not true:

"While advisers agree that there is no way to plan long-term for divorce, they can take steps to be more prepared for it."

People plan for divorce all the time- they hide assets, run up debt to be paid jointly, etc.
I'm sure it's different in community property states like California, but keeping careful records of premarital assets and gifts can protect them from becoming distributed in a settlement.
