Both are shared and expressed often, failing which there will be problems surfacing. It may be social or personal responsibility that keeps two persons together many times. It may be the right of both of them to expect something in form or formless out of a growing relationship.

Similarly children have the responsibility to behave properly, obey and lead a life that is planned for them. Both parents and children have expectations also from each other. Elderly parents expect the care from children whenever they need it.
Friendship
Friends have the responsibility to share and care as far as possible within their limitations. Deep friendship exists on the ability of each one to fulfill the expectation of the other party. Grow good relationships by sending flowers or other gifts on special occasions.
