You are correct in both statements.
"Rectify" is not as commonly used as 'correct,' although in the situation above, "We've rectified our relationship," 'Correct' and 'rectified' have slightly different implications.
"We've rectified our relationship," translates to, "We have resolved our differences after hearing each other out and are doing okay now."
"We've corrected our relationship," translates to, "We have acknowledged where we both made mistakes and plan to make changes to our behavior in the future."
'Rectify' is most often used to address the correction of a situation to the benefit of the person we've wronged.
"How do we rectify this situation?" - "How do we correct what we've done wrong and let the other person know that we are sorry for our actions; even if it was a misunderstanding?"
"How do we correct this situation?" - "How do we get things back on track?
It's subtle, I know. Does this help?

'Rectify' can only be used to address a situation whereas 'correct' can be used in many instances:
"This answer is correct."
Q: "You are from China?"
A: "Yes. That is correct." or just, "Correct."
"Is this the correct address?"
"You stole money from him and now you need to correct that."
"You stole money from him and now you need to rectify that."
"Don't worry about it anymore. We've rectified."
"Don't worry about it anymore. We've rectified our relationship."
I hope these examples help.

@EchoJake Thanks for your answer. So, you mean as a verb, both are the same meanings. But correct can be an adj. Am I right?
Could you also share how frequent the two are used? I feel people use correct more often as a verb.
