 Cohabitation agreements and marriage agreements are for couples who are just starting a relationship. These sorts of agreements can talk about how the relationship <span class="noglossary">will</span> be managed (who <span class="noglossary">will</span> pay the bills, <span class="noglossary">will</span> there be a joint bank <span class="noglossary">account</span> or a joint credit card, or who <span class="noglossary">will</span> do what parts of the housework), but most often they talk about what <span class="noglossary">will</span> happen if the relationship ends. These agreements are usually meant to stop a couple from fighting after a relationship ends by setting out who <span class="noglossary">will</span> get what right from the start.
