2. Time Frame
One of the major differences between a relationship and a partnership is the time frame. Relationships are for the present. It is what you want now. Everyone can get into a relationship but very few can make it succeed and last long. The partnership is all about what is right for you in the future rather than a quick fix in the present. This is why people struggle to come up with labels or to explain what the other person you are in a relationship with is to you. You struggle to say if that’s your man/woman or if they are what you are looking for. In a partnership, you know this person is for you and you proudly go on to say it.
