Do you have role models in what makes a good relationship?

yes same parents, friends and my honey too

My parents and my friends who are in stable relationships... but ultimately each relationship require subtly different things, you just have to study your partner and learn how to make them happy!

In some ways I do. I grew up watching Mom and Dad interact and learned that it is important to tell your significant other that you love them on a regular basis, and to show affection. I have also had the opportunity to observe the ways some other successful relationships work. Through all that I have seen, one thing remains constant; it takes honesty, trust, mutual respect, and a lot of communication and compromise to make it work. You cannot expect things to stay the same all of the time and you have to be willing to bend a lot. I think that I have been fortunate in being able to learn what I have through the many relationships that I have observed over time. The most influencial of all, though has been my own parents.

My parents would be my role models. They have been married for 53 years. They have had their ups and downs but have stuck together thru the good and bad, sickness and health. After all these years they would be lost without each other.

I do see a few of my friends that are in happy relationships,with their happy children that they always say they are perfect these people also have a perfect life,you know all those things you wish were in your own life.The reason their relationships are good are that they rarly have their children so they can do what they want when they want as well as relax.They also have alot of money so they can do anything they want with or without each other.
