Fidelity: What Exactly Do People Promise Each Other?

Fidelity requires a clear accepted promise while preserving both voices.

Questions explored

Is one couple model compulsory?

The article establishes none; its subject remains the accepted term.

Does a new term change the past?

Later consent does not declare an earlier action agreed.

Does the practice guarantee trust?
