About this Document
This “marriage contract” is, of course, not a legally binding document. It was created in hopes that it will inspire greater closeness and creativity in the marriages or future marriages of already kinky people. If you’re not into bdsm or consensual power exchange, you will probably want to put down this book and back away slowly. If you’re very humorless about relationships between the sexes, or a hard-line feminist, RUN!
Still here? Great, that means you’re either kinky or at least curious about bdsm and power exchange relationships. This particular document is aimed at couples where the male is the Dominant or Head of Household , and the female is the submissive and/or has been willingly taken-in-hand by her Husband. In this document, I will capitalize Husband due to this dynamic, and write wife in lowercase. This does not mean the wife is the lesser party in any way. In the very best power exchange marriages, both partners give and take equally, according to their roles. If you are in a relationship, but not yet married, feel free to change the names Husband and wife to whatever better describes your current dynamic, for instance, Dom/sub, Teacher/lil girl, Master/slave, etc.
This contract does assume that the Husband or male is the dominant partner, and the wife or female the submissive. It is also a very complex and particular combination of requirements and behaviors that will not work for everyone . For example, this document assumes that the male works, while the female stays home. If this is not the case in your home, feel free to change the requirements to reflect this. Basically, this document is presented as a sample, an example, a place to start thinking about how you want your own relationship to work. Keep what you like, change what you don’t like, add or subtract as time and circumstances dictate. As written, this contract is part true protocol, part fantasy, part porn, and part fun!
The important thing is to celebrate your unique and harmonious relationship, not to become overly obsessed with crossing every “t” and dotting every “i.” Concentrate on the things you can do for your partner’s happiness, because that will make you happy in return. There is nothing more fulfilling than a relationship where the partners freely offer each other exactly what they need, while getting exactly what they need in return. It takes communication, courage, and generosity to find that perfect balance. The reward is Happily Ever After . I have found it with the love of my life. I wish it for you too!
Goal and Purpose
The goal of this document is to explicitly define the roles and responsibilities of the Dominant Husband (hereafter referred to as Husband ) and submissive wife (hereafter referred to as wife ) within the confines of their marriage. The purpose of this document is to create a harmonious and fulfilling household and relationship for both Husband and wife.
General responsibilities of Husband:
The Husband will provide a safe, comfortable, and non-abusive environment in which the wife can thrive and raise the children. The Husband will leave the home to earn a salary great enough that the wife is enabled to devote the majority of her time and efforts to pleasing her Husband and keeping his home. The Husband will provide and stringently maintain a structured and fair system of discipline (detailed in a later section) to ensure his wife is successful in meeting the household’s general goals. The Husband will nurture the wife and protect her from danger, abuse, and the untoward behavior of other males at all times and as such will maintain a healthy and vigorous physical condition to best protect her from harm. The Husband will allow his wife to follow pursuits that improve and enrich her life provided they do not interfere with the expectations detailed below.
General responsibilities of the wife:
The wife will keep a peaceful, organized, and loving household
