writes:So I enjoy answering questions here on dearcupid when I have spare time. The thing is they are mostly about relationships gone wrong/problems/etc. I was wondering if people would post about relationships they are in or have been in where things have been right, and tell how things where right, and how/what kept things that way. Details are appreciated, examples are too (I like cute moments). And any advice or general statements you think other people might find useful (also gives me examples and ideas for answering other people's questions). If the relationship is in the past, maybe include common pitfalls, though I would like to keep it more upbeat (whatever you write is cool).Really: What goes into a great relationship?I asked this question once before ( http://www.dearcupid.org/question/can-anyone-share-relationships-that-have-gone-right.html) and was hoping to get some more replies from new people, I like what was written the first time :) Reply to this Question

 What a nice idea :) If you ask this again you should write it as an article.
Okay well I think I'm one of the people in a happy relationship and I've also been on the other side of that not too many years ago so I really think you learn a lot from each relationship. You learn things about yourself and how you deal with people, what you can offer a partner but also your bad habits. You learn not to repeat the same mistakes.
My relationship is a happy one because we're best friends. I truly believe that's key. There is no shyness between us at all, nothing we won't discuss. We laugh together, we tease each other and we look after one another. Thing is, we're chalk and cheese but we compliment each other so well! I bring out a more adventurous side to him and he calms me down a lot. Mutual respect, trust and friendship are the ingredients to love :) I really can see us growing old together.

 Things gone right...
hmm what really good in a relationship is friendship and laughter.
I tried going out with all my female best friends and usually was turned down because of "just a friend" thing.
But then one friendship finally blossomed, and its been really good. You need to have a friend before you have a relationship and laughing together is one of the best simple things that can work in my relationship.
Also when me and her, get deep about things (sometimes) like when we can really have a heart to heart and understand each other.
