Editorial Reviews: Product Description This timely book introduces the revolutionary Couples Contract, which secures important advantages for any committed couple, whether getting married, already married, or just living together. This contract represents a commitment to a lasting relationship based on the highest principles of trust. It introduces concepts that can help solve relationship problems as they arise, keeps the terms of the relationship stable in case the couple moves to a different state, guarantees that the relationship will never end up in court, and can be extended to include faith-based or financial clauses.

Customer Reviews: Perhaps the most important book for any committed, long relationship February 12, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Reviewed by Abbie G. Yandle for Reader Views (1/07) "What are the most useful and constructive things a loving couple can accomplish with a written agreement?" That first sentence is an example of the clear and easily understood language the authors use throughout this book. The sample documents are accompanied by plain language explanations. Years of experience yield sound advice about what to include, what to exclude, and why every loving couple and their relationship benefit from a Couples Contract. By following the examples in this book and its companion CD, any couple can create a basic document that will both stand up in court and keep them out of court. "Its goals are to (1) reinforce your commitment to each other, (2) plant ideas that might help resolve relationship issues in the future, and (3) keep your relationship forever out of court." No one wants to consider that their relationship may someday come to an end. Having been through divorce myself, I know how ugly it can get. With this contract, based on mutual love, respect, and sound legal principals, there is no place for ugly court battles. Further, clarity about goals and financial issues lays solid groundwork to avoid many of the pitfalls that eventually lead to divorce. Even long term relationships between couples who choose not to marry benefit from the protection of a couples contract. I have already recommended this book to many friends. There is no wrong time to make the effort to create a couples contract. There are many reasons to do so. "The Couples Contract for a Lasting Relationship" should be on the shelves of every home and family law office in the country! Affection, Respect, and Friendship October 16, 2006 The first principal of a lasting relationship is your intention to preserve your mutual affection, respect and friendship. There is much helpful information in this book, as well as on the companion CD, to help you achieve that goal. There is also a relationship affirmation and agreement form to be filled in and signed by both parties. This form is a guide to reaffirm your commitment to each other. The basics of the Couples Contract include: Making a loving commitment to a lasting relationship, honesty and good faith in all dealings with each other, and how to build successful problem-solving into your relationship. Using this book, CD and Couples Contract is a great way to begin a strong, stable relationship. A complete and comprehensive guide for creating an everlasting bond between couples of every level June 8, 2006 Expertly co-authored by the attorneys Ed Sherman and Bruce Janke, The Couples Contract For A Lasting Relationship: For All Couples: Married, Getting Married, Unmarried is a complete and comprehensive guide for creating an everlasting bond between couples of every level. Enhanced with the inclusion of a CD-Rom, The Couples Contract For A Lasting Relationship presents a thorough and concise collection of advice and examples for securing important legal benefits through the mechanism of a written contract with respect to a loved one whether engaged, married, or simply living together. By tailoring a written agreement to a couple's particular financial relationships, and building successful problem solving skills with respect to general relationship issues (which may frequently be financial), The Couples Contract For A Lasting Relationship is very strongly recommended as a useful tool and guide to safeguarding the relationship. If you are planning to share your life with that special someone, then give The Couples Contract For A Lasting Relationship a very careful reading first. It could save you a great deal of regret and expense later.
