INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
Sometimes, in a close relationship like a friendship, work partnership, or romantic partnership, it is helpful to clarify where each person is coming from with respect to the relationship, what their intentions are, what their operating principles and guidelines are, so these can be compared, and potential sources of friction from differences, can be dealt with up front or more consciously/explicitly.
This is not meant to be set up as a legal contract, although it could morph into one. Rather than having the terms of one's relationship set according to the government, a couple can set their own, which might include matters of finances, property, criteria for maintaining vs dissolving the relationship, and terms and manner of any dissolution. Right now, these are all set by "the marriage laws."
This DRAFT is intended to be a cafeteria or the building materials from which you can design and create your own version which suits you and the other person. It can also be a catalyst as you add in things of importance to you, or modify things to suit you.
