ALCHEMY OF GRACE

Covenant

Relationship first.Instrument second.

A covenant begins as a conversation between people. Writing it down comes last, and only if you choose.

Each person, and what each of you is to the other.

What brought you to this point together.

What each of you will not trade away.

In plain words, what each of you will do.

Name it, so no one assumes it.

What each of you keeps entirely your own.

How either of you can ask for something to change.

What you will do first when you disagree.

Each person reads every answer aloud, in their own voice, before going on.

We have each read every answer and we understand them.

What memorialization means here

Printing records what you already agreed between yourselves. It is a memorial of your understanding, not a legal instrument prepared for you. If you want an instrument with legal effect, the parts that need a licensed professional can be found on the BIND map.

Lineage

The earlier covenant builder began with the document. It is preserved as lineage and is not linked here.
