The following eight articles of agreement become effective on the date that each partner signs the bottom line of this contract:

I. Agreement Participants

This agreement involves only the two partners who sign the bottom line of this contract. In no way will this contract ever involve third parties, including any church or government powers.

II. Primary Agreement

Each partner agrees that the only obligation to the other is to maintain a loyal commitment to:
  1. Honesty.
  2. Developing personal integrity, independence, and character growth.
  3. Seeking knowledge, experiences, and objective truth through effort and reason.
  4. Creating and delivering values that contribute to the growth and well-being of each partner and the relationship.

III. Purpose

Each partner agrees that the purpose of the cohabitation (or marriage) relationship is to increase the objective values, enjoyment, pleasure and happiness available from life. If this purpose is not served, then no objective purpose for the relationship exists.

IV. Property

Each partner agrees to keep (as much as practical) all property in clearly defined, separate ownership. Each partner recognizes that neither has any claim on the other's life, property, or freedom in any way except for the mutual obligation of developing values and growth as defined in the Primary Agreement (II).

V. Children

Each partner agrees to avoid conception and subsequent childbirth unless each partner beforehand mutually signs an additional contract that identifies and fixes in specific detail who will bear the financial and caring responsibilities for each child. In that separate child-responsibility contract, terms must explicitly include the fixing of full child care and financial responsibility in the event that the cohabitation is terminated. If conception occurs without a mutually signed child-responsibility contract, the pregnancy will be aborted as soon as possible at the request of either partner with abortion and medical expenses being equally shared. Unlike this cohabitation contract, which can be unilaterally voided, a child-responsibility contract cannot be voided or altered in any way except by a written mutual agreement that is signed by each partner.

VI. Termination of the Relationship

This cohabitation (or marriage) agreement may be mutually or unilaterally terminated at any time for any reason by notifying the other partner and by separating the property belonging to each partner. After termination of the agreement and separation of property, no duty or obligation (material or emotional) will remain between either partner. Child-responsibility contracts, however, cannot be unilaterally altered or terminated.

Any mutually owned or disputed property shall be divided in the following manner: On the flip of a coin, one partner shall quote a price for the property in question. The other partner then has the choice of either taking the property and paying that price or of leaving the property and collecting that sum from the partner quoting the price on the property.

Vll. Death

If this cohabitation agreement is still in effect, each partner agrees that with the death of one partner, and after payment of that partner's bills, debts and expenses, all remaining property will be distributed according to the signatured instructions below or according to the attached inheritance agreement (Will and Testament or Trust Agreements*). If Wills or Trusts are attached, refer to the Wills or Trusts in the blank space below. If no Wills or Trusts are attached, each partner should write in longhand his and her own death instructions. In either case, each partner should cross out any remaining space and sign on the bottom line. Death instructions should include body disposal desires (e.g., cremation without ceremony, cryogenic freezing with payment arrangements, etc.).

[* Separate inheritance agreements (Wills or Trusts) should be used in all but the simplest agreements involving only nominal property values.]


In the absence of any instructions or Will, all property will pass equally to any minor dependents of the deceased. If no minor dependents exist, all remaining property will pass to the surviving partner.


Vlll. Reconciliation

Cohabitation (or marriage) reconciliation can be effected simply by each partner signing a new cohabitation (or marriage) contract.


The undersigned agree to the eight articles of the above contract as conditions for their cohabitation (or marriage) contract.
