If you haven't watched the Office, you're really missing out. Currently, I'm re-watching the season, and the pranks, jokes, and lessons never get old. Although you can learn a lot from Michael and Dwight, specifically on how to comically manage an office and how to own a beet farm, Jim and Pam have taught their viewers a lot as well. They have become an iconic couple in the show, and their love is one for the books. Here are just a few things they've taught us about love:

1. Be with someone who never fails to make you laugh and reminds you to laugh at yourself once in a while.

Living in today's society, it's important to smile. Being with a partner who never fails to make you laugh is crucial and is something to hold on to.

2. At the base of any relationship, there is friendship.

Loyalty, trust, respect, and support are all key factors in a successful friendship and thus a relationship. Having your best friend as your partner is one of the most rewarding things. Not only because they've seen you at your worst and best, but also because they truly want to be by your side as you grow, succeed, and try to figure out your life.

3. Sometimes, timing is off.

In the beginning seasons, Pam and Jim clearly cared for each other, but the timing was always off; Pam was engaged, Jim moved to Stamford, and both pursued other relationships. Sometimes, the universe has other plans than you thought.

4. But patience can really pay off.

Jim waited years before finally being with Pam, and it certainly paid off. If it's meant to be, it'll find a way.

5. Love isn't always easy.

Differences, arguments, and so many other obstacles are just waiting to test a relationship. It isn't always easy, but when you love someone, you give it your all no matter what.

6. But it's worth it. Never give up.

When the going gets tough, it's important to know that the situation is temporary, and in the long run, it'll be worth it. At the end of the day, Jim and Pam overcame any obstacle thrown at them through love, compromise, and commitment to each other. Even if it looks like it's the end of the road, as Michael Scott said to Jim on the Booze Cruise, "Never, ever, ever give up."

Thanks, Jim and Pam, for giving us hope in love!
