Relationship Agreements: A Simple and Effective Guide for Strengthening Communication, Reducing Conflict, and Increasing Intimacy to Design Your Ideal - Paperback

by Adam Kardos (Author), Eri Kardos (Author)

Are you spending more time planning your career than designing your relationship?

You are smart, driven, and capable in every area of life. And yet when it comes to the relationship you share with your partner, you may be defaulting to assumptions, inherited expectations, and unspoken rules that quietly erode the connection you want.

Relationship Agreements gives you a better way.

In this practical, warmly written guide, TEDx speaker and relationship expert Eri Kardos walks you through the process of creating your own Relationship Agreement - a living, evolving document that unpacks the spoken and unspoken understandings holding your relationship together. Not rules. Not restrictions. A shared design for the relationship you actually want.

Through clear frameworks, honest self-reflections, and exercises built for real life, you will learn how to:

• Strengthen communication so the conversations that matter actually happen
• Navigate conflict without damage to the relationship or each other
• Build deeper intimacy - emotional, physical, and intellectual
• Create agreements that grow and evolve as you do

This is not therapy. It is not a crisis intervention. It is a tool for people who are already committed to each other and ready to be intentional about what they are building together.

You will finish this book with a clear framework, a set of agreements you have built together, and a relationship you have consciously chosen.
