In an era where much debate has been placed on the rights of those seeking a same-sex marriage, the term "domestic partner agreement" has sometimes become exclusive to same-sex couples. The fact is that a domestic partner agreement can be drawn up between any two unmarried adults, whether they be of the same or opposite gender. If created effectively, a domestic partner agreement can supply all the benefits of marriage, except those bestowed only by a national government, such as tax benefits, pensions, and other estate or probate issues.
