Commitments can come with a down-side: they can be difficult and often painful to change. That’s certainly true of some socially-recognized and sanctioned commitments, such as a marriage or a mortgage. In our society, those are treated as contracts, or mutually-agreed promises, that can’t be violated without a price being paid.
In this episode, we’ll consider an alternative form of commitment: a renewable relationship, which can offer the affirmation of a contractual relationship, while maintaining a focus on the importance of unforced individual choice.
