Whether you’re single or in love with your partner, at some point in life, you have always wished that your love story was just like your favourite pair from a show you can’t stop watching. Maybe watching their romance blossom is the very reason why choosing the next episode over those minutes of sleep is an easy choice (not a choice for many).
If you’re wondering which TV couple best describes the bond with your special someone, we’ve got a wholesome list from which you can decide. So, who is it going to be? Read on.
David and Patrick, Schitt’s Creek
If you’ve had years of bad relationships and have severe trust issues, only to finally find someone you can love and trust, chances are that you think of yourself as David from Schitt’s Creek who has found his Patrick in their partner. And if they always have your best interests at heart and have played an instrumental role in you being the person you are today, it is another reason why you two are the David and Patrick of your town. Not only do you two balance each other out, but the affection that you have for each other is a mirror image of how one of TV’s best couples are. Brownie points if you and your partner are running a successful business together. You guys are nothing but wholesome and aww-dorable.
Marshall and Lily, How I Met Your Mother
If you’re the loyal guy and your girl is as perfect as they come, then this cute, sweet, and funny couple is just who you two are. Everything about you and your partner feels right no matter how odd and nerdy you guys might be. A reason why this TV couple and your relationship are so loved is that you fit in so well with your single friends and never make others feel uncomfortable.
Dwight and Angela, The Office
While Jim and Pam grabbed most of the limelight in the epic show, we loved the side love story of Dwight and Angela for how strong and mature their bond is. If you happen to be a couple who started dating in office, chances are that you’ve watched this show just to see how these two deal with their colleagues and keep their relationship a secret from the group. At the same time, if you’re a couple who doesn’t let the romance interfere with work and have even stayed on good terms after a break-up, you have every reason to believe that you’re very much like Dwight and Angela.
Meredith and Derek, Grey’s Anatomy
Relationships don’t always need to be lovey-dovey. Some of them are complex and that’s what makes them real and relatable. If you’re a couple that started with a fling or a one-night-stand only for it to make you realise that the person you’re with is the love of your life, then you’re very much like this dysfunctional couple from one of our favourite shows on TV.
Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky, Full House
If your love story is a classic case of love at first sight, there are good chances that you’re this evergreen couple from Full House. The guy is a classic flirt and heartthrob while the girl plays it hard only to eventually go out on a date. Sounds just like you and your loved one, doesn’t it? And boy did you win her heart, just like Uncle Jesse did by serenading her.
Mitch and Cam, Modern Family
Another same-sex pair who have given us couple goals right from the very first episode. Just like them, you and your partner are like chalk and cheese. One of you is an extrovert, like Cam, who turns every situation into a dramatic moment while the other is like Mitch, an introvert who prefers to play by the rules. Despite the two of you, much like Mitch and Cam, being poles apart, the mutual love for art, family drama, and the finer things in life—things that make you the successful, loving partners and parents to your children—is what brings the two of you together.
Jake and Amy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine
The primary reason why I loved each and every episode of the show! Some relationships have a lot of important things as its cornerstone; this one has light-hearted and quick-witted banter. Here’s a perfect example of not just two opposite personalities being attracted to each other, but being the missing piece of the puzzle in each other’s life. If you and your partner joke and laugh more than you guys talk, then you’re very much this office couple who are a match made in heaven.
Ross and Rachel, Friends
Yes, yes, we know. This list would be incomplete if we didn’t include them. Just like one of the most-famous TV couples, If you and your partner ‘were on a break’ and then got back together (or maybe not, depending on who’s telling the story), just make peace with the fact that the two of you are always going to have your happily ever after. Despite the many ups and downs, spending time apart, and even having a child together, here’s a classic example of love conquers all. When you care about someone so much that you end up spending ample time together, you shouldn’t wonder why your relationship has still managed to work out just fine. We didn’t wonder this about Ross and Rachel, neither should you and your loved one, who are very much like them.
Marge and Homer Simpson, The Simpsons
Just like them, you’re a couple with defined roles and know how to ace them to perfection. One of you likes to grab everyone’s attention with your antics, while the other has always been the rock-solid anchor in the relationship—the one who is able to keep everyone in check. A reason why you might think you and your partner are just like Marge and Homer is the fact that despite all the trouble, the two of you will always stand by each other.
