If I take it in more general way "we are social being" and thus we need more then food, i.e love and affection. For search of love and affection, we cake connection. We make connections not for other, but for ourself. We need something from other. There a relationship a boss and employe, is not becouse boss loves there employs, it's become they need someone to work for him. And also at same time employee need money so they make him, his boss.
Even in relation of husband and wife. Both need something from other and if they are able to fullfill needs of one another. They get involved in relationship.
So it's a simple concept, we make realation to fullfill some of our need, if you expect something from other then, they also have some explanation from you.
