love story
A story in a book, film, or play that is about the romantic relationship between two or more people. The term can also refer to the actual romantic relationship itself.
„Romeo und Julia“ ist die wohl bekannteste Liebesgeschichte der Weltliteratur.
"Romeo and Juliet" is probably the best-known love story in world literature.
The word is made up of 'Liebe' (love), the linking '-s', and 'Geschichte' (story). So it literally means a 'story about love'.

'Liebesgeschichte' (love story) can refer both to a fictional story in a book or film and to the actual romantic relationship between two people in real life.
Dieser Film erzählt eine sehr berührende Liebesgeschichte.

'Liebesgeschichte' (love story) is often combined with adjectives that describe the type of relationship, for example 'eine tragische' (a tragic), 'eine glückliche' (a happy), 'eine komplizierte' (a complicated), or 'eine ungewöhnliche' (an unusual) love story.

relationship / connection
'die Beziehung' and 'die Liebesgeschichte' can both be about love between people. 'die Beziehung' usually means the real relationship between two people: they are together or were together. 'die Liebesgeschichte' sounds more like a story about love, for example in a film or book. But it can also mean a real romantic story in someone's life. The words can be confused because both talk about love. If you are speaking neutrally about a partnership, 'Beziehung' fits better. If you want to emphasize the course of events, the feelings, or a narrated plot, 'Liebesgeschichte' sounds more natural.
