Other than the house, it's the biggest thing we have to worry about. In the long run, it's probably more important than the house. The 401(k) has taken a nosedive, but both of the companies that I've worked for for any substantial length of time have (or had in one case) pension plans that could turn out to be quite valuable over time. So it is important to make sure that the split is done right, to make sure we are both protected.
