Agreements Are Containers
In a nut shell, what defines us as "dating" is agreeing to adopting certain boundaries together. These agreements become the parameters of our relationship. For example, initially we would sleep with other people without telling each other outside of sexual health related details. But once we start formalizing a relationship, we both set boundaries for ourselves about who we will and won't date. We remain independently responsible for our boundaries, but we choose to set them together. Without agreements there's no cohesion and very little substance to a relationship 💕🦌
