Relation VS relationship

Here are confusing two words; relation and relationship.

I've used these two without knowing a difference.

It is confusing to find out a difference between the two in a dictionary because the definition of them looks almost the same to me.

So, can anyone define or give simple examples so I can use them correctly?

You can have a realtionship with someone. I have a relationship with my wife, my children, my friends, and even the man that works at the gas station. Having a relationship means that you know each other on a personal level.
