6 Times Ben And Leslie From 'Parks and Recreation' Were Relationship Goals

If you haven’t already seen the "Parks and Recreation" television series, then I strongly encourage that you drop everything that you’re doing right now, go get on Netflix (or purchase it), click on Season One, Episode One of "Parks and Recreation," and now enjoy. I hope you won’t regret it, because it’s definitely up there in the top ten best TV shows of this generation. Seven seasons later, you will finally understand why Ben and Leslie are so perfect. If you haven’t watched it yet, **this does include spoilers.** Pretty much everything that they did was relationship goals but I summed it down to only six times.

1. Their first kiss

Their first kiss was obviously one of the best. Not only because they’re the perfect couple, but he stops her in the middle of her griping to him, grabs her face and kisses her. This is one moment in their relationship that made every "Parks and Rec" fan say “Yaass!”

2. When they finally said, “I love you” and the way they do it

Ben and Leslie don’t just say “I love you” to each other; they say “I love you and I like you,” and it’s honestly one of the more precious things in life. It shows their love for each other and shows they still like each other along with the love.

3. Their continuous support for each other

At many moments in the series, there was a time when either Ben or Leslie had to make a sacrifice for one another so the other could succeed. For example, Ben gave up his job to continue his relationship with Leslie and so that she could keep her job. Another time, he gave his support for her to run for office, even if it meant that their relationship would have to temporarily be long distance and later she helped him run for congress.

4. Ben proposing to Leslie

Their proposal was simple but so perfect for them. Leslie was even so excited for it that she said yes to Ben before he even could finish his sentence. So perfect!

5. Obviously, when they got married

The episode when they finally tied the knot was one of the more special ones to me and probable every other Ben and Leslie fan. They were finally together forever after jumping through many obstacles to get there!

6. Just the way they look at each other

Anytime they look at each other, all you see is pure adoration and love. That’s one relationship goal that everyone should strive for. Find the person who will always look at you like that even when you may not be looking. I mean just look at these two!

So I still highly recommend for anyone who hasn't seen "Parks and Recreation" to take the time to try it out! It's definitely a show worth watching. It's filled with humor, good relationships and just all around greatness.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
