I might be wrong, but I believe there are a couple of hard facts that make the decision quite easy.
1. At the time of divorce any assets aquired before the marriage do not get split. Only the growth from those assets.
2. Any inheritance during the marriage does not get split. Invest it your name only and only the growth on the principal will be split.
Basically if you marry someone they don't automatically get half of what you own. If you cash your inheritance and pay down the mortgage on joint property, that is another matter.
Make an educated choice, why taint your life long commitment with "but what if"
