I'll admit it, I am a Friends fanatic. I have watched all 10 seasons start to finish about four times and quote the show on a regular basis.

Friends so realistically depicts how we get through what life throws at us with our own intuition and a little help with our friends. Finding a career you actually care about, realizing your parents make mistakes too, and falling in love (maybe even with your best friend) are the ups and downs of twenty-something-year-old life. We see Monica, Joey, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, and Phoebe go through it all.

Without a doubt, one of the best parts of watching Friends is following Ross and Rachel's relationship.

So I present to you through GIFs: why Ross and Rachel were a power couple and made us look to them for #relationshipgoals.

~~~

We knew right from the start that they were meant to be together.

Their backstory is so dorky and lovable. Young, nerdy, college-aged Ross found himself infatuated with his younger sister’s best friend: the beautiful, kind-hearted, slightly spoiled and clumsy Rachel.

Years later, Ross is divorced and Rachel finds her way back into his life. Cue one of the most adorable scenes.

It took awhile, but no great love stories are ever instant, right? It's all about the persistence.

Ross so wholeheartedly loved her. And she made him so happy.

The passion between them was so obvious. So many iconic kissing scenes.

But they were also best friends. They perfectly balanced being goofy and sweet.

Then there were plenty of awkward times where the timing was just off. Rachel with Paulo. Ross with Julie. The whole "we were on a break" fiasco that left both of them heartbroken. Ross with Emily... then saying accidentally Rachel's name at his wedding. Rachel encouraging Ross's girlfriend Bonnie to shave her head. Rachel and Joey.

The list of what got in the way of Rachel and Ross being together goes on and on. Which is normal for couples- there are complications. But at the end of the day, Ross would have dropped everything to help Rachel out (and did many times). And Rachel never really stopped loving Ross.

After everything they went through, they both knew deep down that they were made for each other.

So Rachel got off the plane.

They made great [weird] parents together.

And made us viewers very happy. Cue the jealousy.

So we probably won't ever get over Ross and Rachel.
