What does a good relationship look like?


Not the man (or woman), the house, the car, the kids, or anything else- just the relationship.

here's my first reply...

LEANN RIMES LYRICS

"Some People"

Isn't it a gamble
Layin' your heart out on the floor
Nothin' short of a miracle
When you find the one you're looking for
It's another kind of trouble trying to hang on to who you are
When all you wanna do is lose yourself in someone else's arms
Isn't it a wonder (that) we got this far

Some people aren't lucky like us
Some people they just give up
When the hard times fall
The thrill of it all is gone
Leaves you in a cloud of dust
It's sad to think that some won't find it
And others won't recognize it even when it comes
We're all at the mercy of the will of love
Some people yeah
Some people aren't lucky like us

Two lonely souls that just stumbled into fate
Look how much we've been given babe
In spite of all of our mistakes
And I will never forget I've been blessed with the gift of lovin' you
And when the going aint easy babe
A little faith will pull us through
Thank God we have each other we can hang onto


To have someone you can laugh with
Someone you can cry with
Tell all your secrets to
To have someone who won't judge you
Someone who just loves you
No matter what, they stand beside you

I lurk around here occasionally so I thought I would join in. I am not sure how qualified I am to really answer this but I can tell you what I think from my own experience. Just to give you a little history here my first relationship started when I was 16 (I am 28 now) and lasted 10 years. We have a 5 year old daughter together. The relationship I am in now is going on 2 years and we live together. I've never been married. I consider my current relationship good, even if it did take us a while to get to that point. So I will tell you what it's like. For the most part we get along really well, we talk openly about our problems when we have them. We go out just me and him and least once every week or two. He always does little things for me to show me he loves me and I never have to doubt his feelings for me. We make each other laugh and know how to have a good time together. On the down side, we have completely opposite personalities I am very calm and laid back and he is kind of... uptight I guess, and it does cause us problems sometimes. So far though we have always been able to work it out.

Maybe nobody really knows.
