I think it means there are no rules when your in a real relationship. If you are truly meant to be, truly in love, than it won't matter how many times you hurt each other - that true love, that passion you feel for each other - never dies - it never fades. You may be hurt by an action or word - but your soul still longs for the other person.
Alot of people get married, when they are not meant to be together. Either they are lonely and just need to have someone beside them, or they don't want to look pathetic in the public eye. So they marry, even if the two people are not meant for each other. They really don't know their spouse for who they really are, but who they have created in their heads. The statement, "It's not about the rules, but the relationship", means to me that those people who shouldn't be together begin to harp on what their spouse is doing, rather than how they are feeling. Doing the dishes right becomes more important than laying in bed and relating to each other on a deeper level. Just my opinion.
Why are you asking?
What is the context of the statement?
anonymous 1- agreed... but what if we arent talking about a romantic relationship... does the same principle apply?
anonymous 2- too negative for me.
anonymous 3- I don't think it matters.
To me, it means that our relationships with people are much more important than who is right, or who gets first place. It is all about how we deal with other people, and show them the love and grace of God. Rules are important... but not more important than love and grace.
God is love. God is just. God is one and yet manifiests himself in the trinity. I don't think we will ever figure it out on this side?

Yes I think it still applies - Just in moderation. Obviously your soul doesn't long for a friend, but it does long for companionship that true friends offer. If you can forgive someone, then they are a true friend. If you can not find it in yourself to forgive, then I guess your friendship doesn't meet the "companionship" level. Maybe that person is better as an aquaintance?
I thought of God's covenant relationship with us, how it changes our whole identity, as opposed to a contractual relationship, where certain criteria- "duties" are expected.
The covenant relationship is not a contract that requires us only to sign our names on the dotted line, it changes who we are. We are not business partners with God, we belong to him.
It means that it won't matter if coC uses instruments, or if you are Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, or Presbyterian.
Afterall, it's about the relationship with Christ and not about man made rules.
