So it sounds like you need two "has_one" relationships defined? both Person and Hobby would have: has_one: favorite_hobby You then could have a FavoriteHobby model object with belongs_to: person belongs_to: hobby I'm not 100% this would work or is a good idea, but nobody else has suggested anything yet, so I'm trying to learn in the process.
