What's a good way to deal with disparity in assets ...

what's a good way to deal with disparity in assets when planning marriage? i own my house, and my fiance will be moving in - he owns no property. what would be fair to both AND preserve my ownership in the event of a divorce? his contribution towards the mortgage would help build MY equity, not his, which isn't really fair. it also wouldn't be fair that he gets a cut of a house he didn't pay anything into up till now. and the idea of him "paying me rent" doesn't help the idea of "building our home together". help!

A prenuptual is fine. To state ongoing current equity from the house is splittable, but the house itself is not is a pretty reasonable part. And calling it "rent" isn't rent, not in the eyes of the law.
