When you are in a relationship, you get to feel special. I love feeling special. You get to feel as if nothing else in the world matters more than you do. Don’t you love that special feeling you get?
Frequently asked questions
Honestly, relationships can bring so much joy and companionship. They can make you feel loved, understood, and supported. Plus, it's amazing to share life's ups and downs with someone special.
Relationships can enhance your emotional well-being, give you a sense of stability, and even push you to grow and become a better version of yourself. Sometimes, having someone to share your dreams and worries with is simply priceless.
Trust your heart! If you're ready to share your life and care deeply for someone, a relationship might be a great fit. But it's equally important to feel at peace with your own company first.
Being single is wonderful too! It's all about what makes you happy. Enjoying your own company and thriving independently is just as valuable as being in a loving relationship.
It's natural to feel scared. Relationships require vulnerability, and that can be intimidating. Take your time—there's no rush. When you're ready to open up, remember that it's perfectly okay to feel nervous, just be honest with yourself and your potential partner.
6. You Care a Lot about the Individual
Of course, you want to be in that relationship because you obviously care a lot about the individual. When you care about someone, it’s a whole different way of living. You’re no longer living for yourself, you’re living for the other as well. Sometimes even the most dedicated couples are going through crisis, in this case, it is essential that they seek out help from a couples inpatient rehab - it is a sure way to save your relationship and emerge stronger on the other side.
5. Not Having to Wish for Someone

When you are single, you wish you had someone around. Now that you have someone around, you no longer have to wish you had someone there to love you and hug you. This is definitely a good reason to be in a relationship.

Have you ever been in a relationship? When they walk in the room, do you know the feeling you get? Your heart starts to beat fast and you get so excited. You get butterflies. This is a lovely feeling.
3. You Have Someone There for You when You Fail at Something
When you fail at something, since you are in a loving relationship, you will have someone that will be there for you. They are there to remind you that you have the strength to move on. They tell you that it is not the end of the world.

It is always good to be able to have sex with someone you feel safe with. When you have sex with someone outside of a relationship, you may not feel safe with them. Now that you have a good relationship going that is full of trust, you can comfortably have sex and enjoy it.

When you cry, since you are in a relationship, you have someone that is there for you when you are sad. They will lend you their shoulder to cry on when you need to cry. They will take you into their arms and cuddle you and make everything feel better.
All of this is based on an honest, trusting relationship. If you’re in a bad relationship, then you may want to get out of it. If you want any ideas of getting out of a bad relationship, just ask me and I will tell you. In the meantime, you have 8 reasons to be in a good relationship …

Dina: Can I ask why the hell the writers on this blog think that one is obligated to be in a relationship? I hate relationships and think marriage is idiotic, and this is by choice, I've had a million opportunities to be "very happy in a relationship". Let me tell you why being in a relationship sucks: 1) You get no freedom 2) You turn into a puppet 3) You get cheesy 4) The guy cheats on you (sorry, all guys do) 5) You always feel like you settled for less 6) Just all round pathetic
eliza: i need aboy firend im so loney
Meredith: All these 'I'm in a relationship! Everything's fabulous! If you're not, here's why it's great, in case you didn't already know what you're missing out on!' posts are getting really old. Posts that actual help people would be better. I fail to see how this post is of benefit to anyone.
Teresa: I miss it!
Shakti: Yes...you feel you are special.........thats so true.You feel you are never alone........great.
Iesha.: :'( I miss it all.
charleigh: Meredith, sounds to me like you're just bitter! Why even read the article if that's how you feel?
