Some people I have listened to, feel like a relationship is not necessary and that they can live minus one.

But it all depends on one's perspective about relationships.

Basically, relationships are a way to intimately connect with someone and share our emotions with them.

They surpass self-love which is not enough in life.

Being in a relationship is wonderful and a great experience, but if you're comfortable being alone, that is fine too.

But you need a relationship at some point in your life because of the following reasons.

Relationships give company.

Living on our own, without people around us makes our lives drab.

Company is essential in any human life because through it we share happiness and sadness to others.

Those moments together with the people who love us are fulfilling and add joy to life.

Company gives us support for our dreams and values in life.

Improves the quality of life.

Despite everything at our disposal, money or enough wealthy, without relationships or friendships, life gets less funny.

If one has a healthy relationship, he/she is assured of a support system which makes one a better person.

Relationships are necessary for shaping our lives.

Good for your self-esteem.

A healthy and strong relationship will increase your self-esteem rather than ruin it.

The trust and bond in a healthy relationship will give you emotional security.

You develop your confidence because you know somebody is behind you in every situation.
