When your happy, I want to be happy with you. Share your joy so I can be there too.

When you are sad, I want to be there with you. Not because I want to be sad but because you being sad makes me sad and if I can be there maybe I can help you not feel so sad anymore.

If you are bored, I will be bored with you. Together we will explore all the exciting things we find to be bored about.

If you are hungry and I am not I will find you food because when you eat it makes me happy to see your satisfaction.

If you are tired, let me watch you sleep. Your peace brings contentment to my soul.

If you are angry, I will listen and care and help you figure out what to do about it. Then I will help you realize when the anger has passed.

I will touch you with love and ever so gently. I will scratch your itch, rub your sore spots and kiss your lips. My hugs will be full and lasting.

My calm love will melt away your stress and allow you to shine thru.

Seeing you fills my heart with joy and every moment with you fires a spark within my soul.

All that and more and it is shared between us.

THAT, is what I call a successful relationship!

Wonderful :)

It is successful when you are both committed and institutionalized before divorce.tongue2

You complement each other, you accept each other as you are, you don't judge, you love and respect, you aren't co-dependent, you both got your own thing going in life outside of the relationship, you got good healthy communication.
You support and nourish each other.


How do you know what I desire.....So on point with my heart.

Respect plays a huge part ! Online relationships rarely succeed! Many see just talking online a relationship! No way whoa you have to meet and date face to face!!

All who are looking for relationship, define, what successful relationship means to you.

What are you expecting from relationship? What makes it successful and happy?


I'll be honest. I have learned to just expect the unexpected. See, growing up I had this "idea" of what I wanted in a relationship. I thought I had found that when I was 17....which was the age I started dating my high school sweetheart. We were married six years later and I felt I had accomplished my goal by finding my idea of the right one for me. And then nine years later she decided she wanted out (the fact she cheated on me might have had something to do with that, lol).

After my divorce I soon began to discover that adults are far worse than teens (when it comes to dating). You would think we would have this all figured out, but both men and women can't seem to. I guess when we age we decide that we want that perfect fit, or rather we won't settle. I get that. And there are those who want a relationship and also want to have something on the side (which the net so happily provides us the tools for).

So, as it stands, I don't have an expectation. If I meet someone and I want to pursue things further, then I go into it with 100% of me and hope that she will do the same.

All the obvious factors such as love, trust, respect, individual time, couple time, contentment, and communication make for a successful relationship. However, comfort is another factor many people do not take into account.

We can sit in bed for a hour and barely say two words to each other because we are doing our own thing. Maybe she is shopping online and I'm reading, whatever. The point is, we are so comfortable with each other that we do not feel the need or pressure to be ON for each other. Really good relationships should reach that point of comfort.

I am very heartened by seeing so many people say something other than "I get to have good sex fifteen times before I ditch them for the next one" or some such.

To me, the only measure of success in anything I would call a romantic relationship (to differentiate between what we are after here, from work and politics), is that it continues.

Given my own experiences, the one most important thing (which has so far been lacking) is that both people are in the relationship to be in the relationship with each other, rather than to accomplish some personal goal, or fulfill some one-sided set of desires.

That's a long way of referring to what some might call "commitment," but which I have seen that it has to be a very specific KIND of commitment.
