What does a good relationship look like?

Well, communication helps a lot to make your relationship work. It takes a lot of effort to maintain your communication. Knowing your partner's likes/dislikes is a unending process. Each one of us undergo changes everyday because of our life experiences. So, without communicating, you can not expect the other person to know what your views are or what your plans are in life.

i agree with u, if the views are different, then they have alot to put in place to make it work. some might want a long term relationship that can eve lead to marriage, some might just want to have fun. in such cases like that, all the effort, by the serious partner, may be in vain.
