Thanks be for your overactive fingers, dkitty, and welcome (by the way) . I absolutely agree! I've come into the thread a bit late here, so I'm in agreement mode here, lol. While contracts may not be legally binding, they absolutely give us a point of reference within the relationship, and can be modified according to the relationship needs as it grows and changes. I personally think they should always have a time limit, with renewal options, a termination clause, and penalties stated clearly. I have a friend who uses contracts for nearly every relationship (not to include friendship, thankfully lol) but dating, marraige, etc. The idea of the bottom drawing up the first draft is excellent! I've always begun with a basic format and tailored it to the relationship. Just recently I was presented with something similar to what you describe, and I was impressed. I'm seeing this as a good thing for all involved.
