The Relationship Agreement

by SHAMY Car Nerd

My take on Sheldon and Amy's relationship agreement, with parts from the actual show. Condensed from its original 31 - page version, removing images and didactic monologues and images of medical procedures, leaving only the relevant information to the actual agreement, for the ease of the reader. (If this gets enough likes/follows/reviews I'll do the Roommate Agreement too)

3. Section 2

Section 2: OF the Conventions and Understandings of Dating

Article VI: Date Night

A. As is social convention, the parties in question shall participate in 'Date Night' every second Thursday of the month, OR, in a month with 5 Thursdays, on the 3rd Thursday of that given month. Noting that no other dates shall take place in that month unless specifically prescribed by Sheldon Lee Cooper after at least 2 hours of deliberation upon the matter.

B. Both parties must not pout or be moody on date night, and must maintain a face of either pleasant amusement or polite agreeability.

C. No type of physical intimacy must take place outside of date night, should both parties agree to take their relationship to new levels, such as holding hands, hugging, etc.

D. Sheldon Cooper will only interact with Amy Farrah Fowler on a romantic level, and Amy Farrah Fowler will only interact with Sheldon Cooper on a romantic level. The discovery of involvement with any outside parties that do not include the above mentioned, will lead to the immediate suspension of the Relationship Agreement and may end in termination, as determined by Sheldon Cooper.

Article VII: Anniversaries / Designated Days

A. Every year, on the Anniversary of Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler's relationship, Sheldon must take Amy out to a nice restaurant and have casual physical contact that disinterested onlookers would liken to intimacy.

B. Every 4th Wednesday of the month shall be designated as 'Boyfriend – Girlfriend Sing – Along Night'. Sheldon will go to Amy's house, where both parties must actively participate in the sing – along until Sheldon's designated bedtime.

C. Every 2nd Tuesday of the month is the Sci – Fi Movie Watching Night where Amy must come over to Sheldon's apartment and watch Sci – Fi movies until Sheldon's designated bedtimes. Amy must not interject during the movie unless to ask a relevant question. Failure to comply to this will result in banishment to the kitchen.

D. Every other Saturday is designated as 'fun day', where, though NOT a date, Sheldon and Amy must spend at least an hour doing an activity together, regardless of what it may be. Noting that this activity must comply to all prior terms outlined in the Agreement.

E. Both parties must communicate for at least 20 minutes over Skype each week.

Article VIII: On the Principles of Dating

A. As with all other codes of conduct, principles of the maker and the signatories must be reflected within the document.

B. Noting that neither party shall engage in any outside relationships. Research shows that primates, humans – are monogamous in order to maintain evolutionary advantages. Thus, Sheldon and Amy shall simulate this research in order to publish paper upon the experiment in the future.

C. All other rules stated above apply. Failure to comply with these rules, and those listed below, may lead to the termination of the Relationship Agreement.
