Background: There is a growing amount of research in which older adults contribute as co-researchers. The quality of this research depends, among other factors, on the nature of relationships between professional researchers and co-researchers. Reflections on these relationships can offer structured insight into this form of research. Aim: Our reflection on the co-operation between two older adults and a nurse researcher aims to share the lessons learned based on a critical understanding of our journey. Our main questions are: 1. How has the relationship developed over time, including in terms of mutuality and equality? 2. Which moments have been decisive in this development?. Conclusion: We regard our co-operative relationship as a 'dynamic search'. The meaning of mutuality and equality may change over time and so enrich the relationships. There is a need for further understanding into how these values can be nurtured in different configurations of researchers and co-researchers. Implications for practice: • Evolving relations can be nurtured through deliberative sharing of the perceptions, expectations and experiences of the researchers and co-researchers • Combining a formal working atmosphere with informal moments helps the research team respond to the individual needs of its members • To enhance equality and mutuality, it is important to appreciate and value everyone's contribution rather than concentrating on 'what' or 'how' individuals contribute.
