If you had a 'relationship agreement', what would be in it?

Was watching Big Bang Theory and although the 'relationship agreement' between Sheldon and Amy is a source of amusement, it got me thinking, if you had a real one, what would be some good things to go in it?

1- to not use or say things in spite. ..
2- if after a fight or you pissed me off and I say I need time on my own don't follow and continue it... I will calm up and completely shut down.

At LEA ST one date night a month.
Hold my hand when out...
All ways make coffee... even better ask me if I want coffee.
Cook... because whilst I'm not bad he's much better at it then me.

Surly, anything is acceptable, just curious as to what people think!

Some of mine would be tea in bed and regular foot massages for example!

I have lots of things I'd add in if I thought about it fully, but off the top of my head, it'd include:

Twice monthly date nights
One night per week quality time, at least
Trust, respect and loyalty
Consideration when working late - eg cook for each other
Regular holidays, at least twice per year
Shared interests and separate interests

This one is one off my favourites. If after a night out I'm a bit drunk ( not talking falling down drunk... I don't do that) or tired he'll set out my pj's and make coffee for me while I get myself cleaned for bed.

Oh and cuddles at night... even if sex isn't on the cards.

Hmm, I'm single but I'd probably go for something like this if I ever feel like getting tied down again.

Once a week date night - even if it's a Netflix in bed date :)
Monogamy not required but condom use essential
Don't bitch about my porn stash and I won't bitch about yours
Don't ask to borrow something unless you're going to give it back
If you're pissed off about something, be an adult and use your words

Listen to me when I speak, respect that if I have a different view on something it is not necessarily 'wrong' just different and it doesn't mean I am criticising or judging you, be honest with me and don't try and guess how I will feel about things or protect me from things.

Date night every couple of weeks WITH NO BLOODY IPHONE ALLOWED!! If the iPhone comes out let's face it, it will be his , the user should have to do a forfit of the other persons my choice.
