How long we stay close to our dear ones?...are we really considering the mutual trust , love that binds us in relationship or is it the personal interest that has has just held us in maintaining the rapport?....i have noticed this especially in todays business world , just imagine in an oraganization you try to build up a good raport with your superior just to dismiss the trouble that may come on your way & also indeed for certain personal specifications...waz ur opinion.....

Yes I think so. Mainly because if you want the relationship to work out, even if it's hard for you, you accept and are willing to take the risk for the relationship to grow and strengthen. You are motivated to nurture the relationship and help each other through good/bad times. Good day!

love, like others is also a motive. :D well, actually i think most of the relationship do start with a motive, like an attraction.. is it a motive too? but if you are asking for a motive far greater than love, or attraction, i think it could be many things like wanting to have a relationship with a person because you see that person as the one who will be able to help you, or a motive like trying to hurt someone else by means of that relationship, or maybe avoiding a family you initiate or stay in a relationship as a form of rebellion....

I think it's both taking an effect. Once we'Re in a relationship, we can't help but feel obliged to respond to their needs and even gain rapport unconsciously but we still think of our personal interest cuz it's something we can't get rid of. Both have a drive on our relationship with other people, regardless of what kind.
