For me, an ideal relationship is one where there is equality between both partners, trust, the ability for both people involved to continue to be their own person and grow as a person without the other restricting their growth. I know everyone says unconditional love, however unconditional can sometimes get you into trouble becuase you forgive everything. So a love that is understanding, compassionate, supportive, and felt mutually by two people, a codependancy. And the characteristic that I think is most important, that both people are happy about being together, happiness is key.

The ideal relationship is one where the two (or more) people complement each other; he's yin to your yang, or whatever. One is loud, the other quiet. One is fond of contact with the outside world, one is fond of the hearth and home. If they are really working together, they can create a partnership that can do anything. I am a lousy cook; he loves to cook. I never drove a car in my life; he actually enjoys not only driving it, but taking care of it. He barely knows how to thread a needle; I find hand sewing, even mending, relaxing. I am a high-end user; he's a object-oriented programmer. I have knowledge of the make-do, good enough bottom of the artistic scale; he has exquisite, educated taste.
Steve, I really do miss you!

what i have now, is great, my Girlfriend and I, you need to take everything at the right pace for each other, it shouldn't be called a relationship but a compromise because thats what you have to do a lot of the time, because you and another person how ever alike will never think the same, for example, i have a pet tarantula She suffers from arachnophobia so as much as i try to calm her down it doesn't work still, its those things, remember that you Love each other then compromises are something that are a part of showing that love for one another. like i hate a house thats like a sauna, she can't think of anything better, so we have to go somewhere in the middle to agree. finding agreements everwyere is hard but it makes you stronger

I would say the ideal relationship varies from couple to couple but must have a couple of things. Trust, love and respect. Without those the relationship is far from ideal.

IMO: All relationshipping should be pretty much the same...mutual partnerships of shared time that presents growth opportunities, & support of such, to all involved.
I don't care much for the requirement of a binding committments, esp. since most of these are made in the euphoria of love, without much thought otherwise...I prefer not making promises I may not be able to keep. However, I do believe in respect & honesty...without expectation or dependence of another, to create of myself...rather, I enjoy sharing my experiences while being part in those of others. How deeply I involve myself with another totally depends on the flow...the mutual desire to create more intimate experience with open understanding...I always go with my heart & common sense...they've never steered me wrong.

I agree with the answerer above - Paul writes (I believe it's in Ephesians) that believers should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers as far as a spouse goes. The ideal relationship should be one where you basically have the same core values as the other person. If you have little personal differences, OK, that actually makes things a little more interesting, but your basic values should be the same.

I'd say one where everyone knows their job and their responsibilities, where we work together as a team, always remembering that we are on the same side with the same goals.
A good sense of humor between the two helps too :)

My take on the ideal relationship is to give. Give yourself, love, respect, trust, and time. Take what is given with love and cherish it. Guard your heart from false love and learn to discern when abiding love comes to you.

I married my best friend, so I'd say it is all the qualities you look for in a friendship, then add sex.
