CORE COMMITMENT & FIDELITY
Create a shared understanding of what monogamy means within your relationship.
The agreement establishes a commitment to prioritize the partnership over other romantic or sexual connections and provides clear physical boundaries involving:
✓ Sexual Contact
✓ Romantic Kissing
✓ Intimate Physical Touch
✓ Romantic Connections Outside the Relationship
EMOTIONAL FIDELITY
Monogamy can involve more than physical boundaries.
The agreement encourages transparency when emotional attachments to other people begin developing while recognizing the importance of outside friendships.
Partners agree to avoid “emotional affairs” in which intimacy intended for the relationship is redirected elsewhere.
TRUST & DIGITAL PRIVACY
Build trust through communication rather than surveillance.
The agreement establishes a balanced approach to digital privacy in which partners agree not to snoop through:
• Phones
• Emails
• Social Media Accounts
Instead, the document emphasizes maintaining trust through transparency while respecting each partner's individual privacy.
RELATIONSHIP PRIVACY
Establish boundaries around what private relationship information can be shared with friends and family.
Customize which subjects should remain private, such as:
• Intimate Relationship Details
• Sex Life
• Personal Insecurities
• Partner Secrets
• Other Sensitive Information
The template provides that specified intimate details will not be discussed with family or friends without prior consent.
HEALTHY INDEPENDENCE & CHECK-INS
Maintain connection without requiring constant communication.
When partners are apart, the agreement specifically rejects a requirement for constant check-ins while encouraging reasonable “peace-of-mind” updates for safety or significant schedule changes.
JEALOUSY & INSECURITY
Create healthier expectations for discussing difficult emotions.
The agreement recognizes jealousy as an emotion that may arise and encourages the partner experiencing it to communicate without accusation.
In return, the other partner agrees to listen with empathy rather than defensiveness.
HEALTHY CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Establish a plan before disagreements become overwhelming.
If a conversation becomes heated, either partner may request a “Time Out.”
The agreement allows couples to choose the number of hours within which they will reconvene and encourages the use of “I” statements and a solution-oriented mindset when continuing the discussion.
PROACTIVE RELATIONSHIP GROWTH
The template encourages partners to seek professional counseling or coaching when repetitive patterns of mistrust or poor communication cannot be resolved together.
This helps position outside support as a proactive relationship resource rather than something reserved only for a crisis.
INTIMACY & EVOLVING NEEDS
Relationships naturally change over time.
The agreement recognizes that desire and energy levels can fluctuate and asks both partners to approach periods of low libido or external stress with patience and kindness.
“RELATIONSHIP STATE OF THE UNION” CHECK-INS
Keep the agreement relevant as your relationship evolves.
Partners commit to a recurring Relationship State of the Union conversation every selected month or quarter to discuss:
✓ Whether Each Partner's Needs Are Being Met
✓ How the Relationship Is Feeling
✓ Whether Expectations Have Changed
✓ Whether Any Part of the Agreement Should Be Adjusted
A RESPECTFUL PATH FORWARD
The agreement also recognizes that healthy relationships can change.
If the partners reach a point where they can no longer meet one another's core needs, they agree to approach separation with respect and kindness and view a respectful ending as a transition rather than a failure.
