What is your defintion of a relationship?

Came up with this thread from a conversation me and some friends had. We all had different views on what a good relationship was like and it made me wonder what were others views.

Well it kind of depends. What type of relationship? An open relationship, a serious relationship, a friends with benefits relationship?

If you're referring to a serious relationship, then I'd say a relationship is being in love with someone. And when you are in love with someone you care about them, their feelings, their life, and their decisions. Not only are you there to love them, but to also help them. Relationships are not only about trust, loyalty, genuinity, passion, and honesty, but also about helping each other grow.

Some of the best relationships are the ones where you grow positively as a person. Besides, that's what's life is all about right? About growing, learning, becoming more experienced, and growing to become the person you want to be. A relationship, and a lover is just there to help you, to share your experiences, and to bring some extra happiness in your life that can just make you smile a little longer and more.

In short that would be my definition of a relationship; I could write a whole book about it though.

Someone you can relate to. Someone who shares common goals and interests. Someone that gives just as much as you do. Someone who understands every good and bad thing about you. Someone who would do the best for you even if it wasn't the best for themselves. Someone you can go out and do things. Someone you have a few arguments with but you both still stay strong.

the way in which two or more people or organizations regard and behave toward each other.

It's hard to define. Almost as hard as love.
I'll say that a relationship is partly defined by love.

So there ya have it, 2 really hard things to define defining each other.

Ok serious Charlie just sat at the keys. A relationship is what you make it. You have to define it between yourselves in the relationship.

it's hard to define. it still depends on what type of person you are. but mostly, it 's a structure between yourself, others, love ,care and your trust.

A relationship isn't a piece of paper,words said, promises made or pledges of commitment..a
relationship is a feeling, a reality that exists only metaphysically, a spiritual connection based on trust,belief and love..a union based on circumstance, obligation,convenience or upon the advice of today's conventional "wisdom", our infamous one-dimensional man-made facts is merely a ruse of partnership ..a true bond is genuine emotion, a companionship whose only
motivation is feeling, whose only reason is love..
