        If it's viewed as a proper contract, you would have a finite end date (say 5-7 years) with exit provision to be considered (including what to do with the house, the dog and the kids).

        Then towards of the contract date both parties can decide to extend the original contract or exit using pre-agreed procedures.

        This would be the sensible approach, I reckon.
        I like my programme best...

          Good to see romance is alive and well.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            I prefer to view it as a clear eyed (and headed) approach.

                  The idea of a Statement of Work detailing services to be provided is oddly appealing.....
