I have had what I thought were relationships in the past (and maybe they were). The main thing lacking in them versus my current was complete trust and the ability to talk about almost anything (yes there are still boundaries). I thought I had those with others and didn't. I still didn't really have it with my wife until after we were married a few years. A relationship is what all have said above, but it is also something that continues to develop over time into something bigger and better.
