Honesty in a Relationship

I believe that honestly is an important factor in a healthy relationship. We shouldn't have to lie about anything in order to make the other person happy or to avoid trouble. Trouble will eventually come so why not be honest in the beginning. I feel like being dishonest will only make the situation worse than it really is. For example, a kid lies and makes up an excuse for not doing his homework. The teacher was going to give him an extra day to do it if he didn't lie, but instead the teacher just gave him a zero. Same thing works in a relationship, it is always better to be honest in a relationship even though you think you are making the situation better or simply protecting your partner. Being honest is one of the most important things that people who are in a relationship are working towards.

Relationships

My idea of a perfect relationship is where I can be totally comfortable around them at all times. I want to be able to enjoy our moments together. I see a lot of people who work too hard to maintain a perfect relationship and I just don't see the work for it. I also see a lot of people who are involved in a relationship for other purposes other than being in love with your partner and caring for them. A lot of people are only in relationships temporarily, only trying to resolve a mental or social issue of theirs. I don't know anybody in my life who are in a relationship only for "sex" but I have heard about it and I don't think it's right. I believe that sex is just another component to the relationship that makes your partner special. I want my partner to be caring, loving, and independent in my ideal relationship. Also, they must be funny or else things are going to get awkward real fast.
