This is one of my academic essays. Here I take the tone of a research psychologist, and explore in depth what makes a good relationship. I identify the variables, and then create some research ideas, with theory and hypothesis. I conclude by noting the difference between the scientific method and other forms of knowledge acquisition. Here I suggest that the best way to conclude this essay is using intuition, and I offer my intuitive thoughts on what makes a good relationship, based upon personal data (my experiences), variables, and thought the experiments I suggested.
