All this....plus I would really like two more changes to happen. The first would be to be able to replay the bonding cut-scenes with generic NPCs in place of the original audience since the original cut-scene can no longer be reproduced since we no longer have the same folks assembled.
Second, some form of shared inventory would be nice, perhaps a shared chest (or a retainer?) similar in function to the company chest, only for the partners to share with each other. In a way, it makes the eternal bond function like a, exclusive free company limited to the two players, but with each having the same permissions as the other with respect to the house, chest, gardens, etc...
