A relationship is more of an agreement to stay together rather than a function of an indescribable feeling.
As with all agreements, trouble arises when there’s a break in communication, or when one party runs foul of the rules of the agreement.
How do you define love?
One step back, how do you define the agreement? Contracts are usually broken because one person has a different understanding of the contract than the other, because even a brilliantly written contract has ambiguity. In a romantic relationship, people usually don't even properly talk over what their agreement is, let alone have a written contract. In the end implicit agreements are not agreements at all.

Implicit agreements aren’t binding? 🤔 Does this mean oral agreements aren’t binding too?
“Understanding” seems to be a very important ingredient in getting contracts to run smoothly. The moment one party isn’t on the same page, trouble arises.

I would say that oral agreements are binding but problematic. An oral agreement is likely to have more ambiguities than a carefully written agreement. More room for misunderstandings as you say.
Of course, not everyone wants to treat things so formally. Often people prefer the ambiguity - it allows them to save face when they change their mind about something later.
