So what is a relationship?

We have all been in one at least once in our lives. But really you are probably in several relationships right now, you just don't know it. Who said a relationship is just between two people who are in love (or should be).
We have relationships with our friends, our family, our friends, we have relationships with our pets!

So what is a relationship?
According to the Oxford Dictionary it is this;
" Relationship.
  • the way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected:the study will assess the relationship between unemployment and political attitudes
  • the state of being connected by blood or marriage:they can trace their relationship to a common ancestor
  • the way in which two or more people or groups regard and behave towards each other:the landlord-tenant relationship she was proud of her good relationship with the staff
  • an emotional and sexual association between two people:she has a daughter from a previous relationship "
So I guess it's pretty spot on. How many relationships do you actually have...? Think about it.
