I think the best relationship (read: NOT perfect relationship, coz that exists only in the text book and journals) is when u and ur partner are BOTH lovers and friends. Why lie after some time the love dies away , dwindles aways , fades away as howling storms of fear and doubt assail. When it gets to that point the only thing that can hold u together is the friendship.
You might see partners who transfer the spousal-love to their kids coz they can love their spouse no more.
So I think it's always better when ur both lovers and friends. Juu when the person who loved u ,stops to love u it's only the friends that remain to salvage you.
