I wrote this some time ago to try and capture what i would pledge in a relationship – would you and your partner sign??

Our Pledge

We pledge ourselves to a partnership built on trust, honesty, respect, understanding, compassion, commitment, patience and most of all love.

We are committed

• to each other and our families
• to keeping our love strong
• to being an example of a great relationship by being ‘together, together’
• to knowing and seeking out what makes each other happy and working on it daily

We will :

• resolve our differences before going to bed
• continue to talk with each other regardless of the subject and even if we do not feel like it
• continue to discover new things about each other
• make each other a priority in our daily lives
• greet each other with passion and desire
• encourage each other in the things that make us happy
• recognize we have flaws, accept them and embrace the positives
• deal with conflict in a productive manner being kind and gentle, never shaming or blaming
• always support each other and will never let each other feel alone
• keep each other warm at night
• share our love of coffee, music, reading and art continually
• express our inner most thoughts, feelings and desires to each other and no one else

Finally

We will never forget why we love each other and how we fell in love
