5 Fictional Couples That Define Relationship Goals

Because TV romances are the best.

5 Fictional Couples That Define Relationship Goals
NBC

From an early age, watching couples on TV was how we began to view relationships and form concepts of how they are supposed to be. Without our TV relationship goals, what else would we have? Here are some of the TV power couples we've all either grown to adore.

1. Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso (That 70's Show)

If their off-screen romance isn't enough to win you over then I don't know what is. These two were our seventies sweethearts for 8 years, and will always find a way to make us smile at their witty banter. The two teenagers constantly were dealing with some sort of drama or upset, but no matter how many times he calls her "annoying" or she calls him "an idiot" they remain perfect (we are going to ignore the latter seasons where life declined after Eric left). Jackie was a brat, and Kelso was too much of a flirt, but their love was always undeniable.

2. Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence (Boy Meets World)

From Boy Meets World to the new re-vamped version Girl Meets World (starring their "children"), these two have seen it all. I mean literally since the stroller stage, he used to throw dirt at her, these two actually grew up together and eventually fell in love. They even fictionally get married on the popular nineties TV show that so many millennials grew up watching. If you have never seen or read the bit where Cory tells his mother why he loves Topanga, I would highly suggest it (bring lots of tissues, it is beautiful).

3. Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl)

Both began as spoiled adolescents but together they matured into beautiful young people who throughout their obstacles loved each other immensely. These two throughout the six roller-coaster seasons, will break your heart and super glue it back together hundreds of times, but in the end it is so worth it. Their love is unlike any other, they are each other's Bonnie and Clyde. They manipulate others, play ruthless games, but together they make the most beautiful and powerful couple the television world will ever know. But the most famous Blair-Chuck-ism has to be: "Three words, eight letters, say them and I'm all yours."

4. Alex Vause and Piper Chapman (Orange is the New Black)

Their unique, steamy and risque past brings a whole new level of emotion when it comes to on-screen relationships. From protecting each other in their previous drug-infested lives, to having each other's backs in Litchfield Penitentiary, although rough, their relationship is very passionate and full of love. Prison might not seem like the most romantic setting, but they both seem to make it function just fine.

5. Jim and Pam Halpert (The Office)

Who knew being work colleagues at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company would lead to a happy marriage and two beautiful children? Midways through the life cycle of The Office, the two get married. This quote about planning to marry his dear Pam, most accurately describes how in love they are: "The boat was plan C. The church was plan B. And plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago. Pretty much the day I met her." If that isn't goals, I don't know what is.

You can't get much better than a solid TV romance.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
