I think that people should be allowed to create private contracts for any issue, but only if those contracts are not enforced. Both parties must remain willing participants throughout the process.

You realize that you can't quite call something a contract if it is not enforceable? The point of contracts is precommitment. What good would the kind of "contract" you describe bring?
