AceShowbiz - Having not quite successful love life has taught Jennifer Aniston lessons on the things that make relationships work. Sharing the points with the latest Australian edition of Harper's Bazaar magazine, she says "I think a good relationship is about collaboration. That's the way to go in a relationship."
"I think you just need to talk to each other. Say what you need. Say what you want. That way it's not threatening. You just need to say, 'This is important to me.' Don't expect your mate to read your mind," she explains further. Jennifer, moreover, also mentions the one factor that causes relationship doesn't work, saying "I think it's laziness".
Not elaborating her statement, Jennifer tells Harper's Bazaar that when her relationships with certain people fail she prefers to remain friends with them. "I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends - from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase," says the actress.
Above all, Jennifer concludes "It's my experience and I feel good about it. I don't feel I'm supposed to be any further along or somewhere that I'm not."
